I am an American, seeking elected office in the great State of Maine, in order to restore meaning and integrity to the state motto; "Dirigo".

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I seek to modernize the state's energy production and distribution systems, with the end objective of establishing a more reliable, affordable and secure electricity infrastructure. Energy independence is a key step towards a safer and more prosperous future.I will work to restore the Maine people's trust in their elected officials. It is paramount that all Maine Citizens truly believe that their government is of, by, and for the People. Government leaders must be held accountable to the highest levels of integrity. Public service is a public trust, and this can no longer be taken for granted.I believe that for the stability of Maine's future economy, we must endeavor to establish a balance of career opportunities, encompassing the traditional trades for which Maine is famous, as well as modern technology career paths. We must create viable career pathways that will encourage the younger generation of Mainers to stay in their home state, and to contribute to both developing it, and preserving its rich history.
