Why are you running for the Androscoggin County Commission? I want to have an influence in the way people are living. I would like to help change that. I would like to see us take care of our family units while allowing our county to grow and thrive.

What skills do you bring to the role of commissioner? I would like to use my positive, thoughtful managerial skills that have proven successful for a small business in Auburn. I would like to help navigate finding the balance between what supports both workers and town budgets.

What is the biggest challenge facing the county, and how would you solve it? Simply that the delicate balance between the citizens in Androscoggin County and town budgets, which the citizens pass, has not been in balance. I’d like the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and work together in a collaborative effort to continue to build a beautiful, thriving Androscoggin County.
