Rural Maine is a wonderful place to live and I would be proud to serve in the Maine State House to improve the education, health and standard of living for the people of this area, while also protecting our natural environment, and promoting innovation in work. We need to invest in the people of Maine and provide them with the tools they need to succeed: a great public education, affordable healthcare, job creation, and practical job training.

I grew up working hard in my father’s greenhouse business, which instilled in me a deep sense of respect for hard work and common sense. I enjoy small town living, and love rural Maine. I am a carpenter by trade and own my own business. I enjoy fixing up old houses and working with my hands. I’ve been happily married for 20 years to my wonderful wife, Rachel, who is a nurse at Miles Memorial, and am a proud father of three sons: Angus, Ivan and Henry. All of them attend public schools, which is what inspired me to get involved in the first place. I currently serve on the Wiscasset School Committee and Ordinance Review Committee.

I am running as a Clean Elections candidate and have already reached my small donation goal with your help. Many thanks to all who gave $5!

I can’t accept further campaign donations, but would welcome your volunteer help!

  • “As a conservative Republican, I never thought I would find myself voting for a Democrat, but I’m going to make an exception for Jason. We have served together on the Wiscasset School Committee for over two years, where he has impressed me with his high ideals, common sense, and a passion for community service.”

    -Mike Dunn, Wiscasset

  • “I was impressed with Jason’s dedication to this cooperative venture [building an outdoor classroom at the elementary school] and his willingness to be actively involved. The kind of leadership he offers is so needed in state government.”

    -Cindy Fischer, Wiscasset

  • “Jason is now running for a seat in the Legislature, primarily because of what he sees as a need for much stronger state support for public education.”

    -Tom Eichler, Wiscasset

  • “…A candidate who has stepped up when needed to serve on town committees, who owns his own business, who respects our history as well as looking to the future.”

    -Susan Blagden, Wiscasset

  • “He is a stand-up guy with a track record of making a difference.”

    -Kim Andersson, Wiscasset

  • “Jason, as a father of two boys in the public schools and a small-business owner, understands what it will take to attract and retain young families in Maine.”

    -Carla Dickstein, Wiscasset

  • “As a carpenter/builder, Jason Putnam will fight for funding of skills training as part of the high school curriculum so that young people who want to work with their hands can be inspired to follow careers in the trades.”

    -Christine Hopf-Lovette, Wiscasset

  • “My experience working with Jason on that first renovation was so positive that he became lead carpenter on my second renovation. Let’s send a carpenter to renovate another house: the Maine House of Representatives.”

    -Kim Dolce, Wiscasset
