Q&A

Define what “success” would look like if you are elected to serve your district.
Success would include reducing energy costs, changing the tax structure to encourage the growth of jobs in our state, increasing focus on technical, trade and vocational programs in high school, as well as enhancing funding for nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

Characterize your view on public access to governmental business.
The citizens of Maine need to have face-to-face contact with state government. Sometimes it is more practical to do this remotely. We need to look at this on a case-by-case basis.
