Make Maine Thrive:

“I grew up here, and I still believe Maine is the best state in the nation to live in. But today, our state feels fractured, not because of our people, but because of unwise decisions by political parties that have suppressed growth and driven opportunity away. We’ve lost our attraction for businesses and families who want to stay, work, and build a future here. It’s time to fix that. That’s what I want to do alongside you!“

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I believe government's first responsibility is to protect the public, steward taxpayer dollars wisely, and create an environment where families and businesses can thrive.

That begins by giving law enforcement the resources and support they need to focus on preventing and prosecuting crime. It also means restoring fiscal discipline by reducing unnecessary spending, eliminating waste and fraud, and lowering the tax burden on homeowners, families, and employers.

In my view, Maine's current governing approach has not produced the results many citizens were promised. Over the past eight years, the cost of living and the cost of doing business have continued to rise. Time to turn that around.
