207-242-2559

6 South Fowles Lane, Whitefield, ME 04353

I am running for the Legislature because this country – and our planet – face immense challenges. I want to use my communication and political skills, as well as knowledge of the legislative process, to address our most pressing issues.

We need to return to our core values of caring for one another, united in a spirit of hope and goodwill.

For nine years, I worked with the Legislature, mostly with the Appropriations Committee. One of my projects was to build and lead a 100 member coalition to secure $53 million for the Land for Maine’s Future Program.

I also raised millions of dollars for LifeFlight, Maine’s emergency medical helicopter service.

We are fortunate that Maine’s Legislature is a group of well-meaning people who come together to have respectful conversations about what is best for all Maine people. I have worked in the Legislature for many years so I understand the process.

Challenges and Priorities

  • We need to restore hope. We need to be civil and we need to demonstrate that we care for each other. We need to lead by example.
  • We need to revive our economy (especially our small businesses) and heal our communities after months of social distancing.
  • We need to restore and create good-paying jobs through supporting small businesses and farmers.
  • In the longer term, we need to invest in our young people and enable them to stay in Maine. This can be done by training more people in trades such as electricians, plumbers, and auto mechanics. We can begin by investing in our high school and community trade schools.

 

I would be honored to represent you while working alongside so many other committed Mainers.

As a farmer and small business owner, I understand the challenges that our community faces.

I would love to talk with you about how I can best represent you in Augusta.

  • Farmer
  • Business owner
  • Experienced in Legislature
  • A career of helping others

From an early age, I have been helping my neighbors. In Boy Scouts, I helped weatherize the homes of my elderly neighbors in China, ME. In eighth grade, I received a citizenship award. In high school, I served as class president.

This passion for community engagement has continued and I have spent my career raising money for nonprofit organizations.

Nonprofit fundraising is particularly meaningful for me because I can combine my communication skills with my social values and desire to help others. I presently raise money from donors across North America for a nonprofit that cares for street children in Tanzania, East Africa.

I have worked for community organizations in Maine as well as internationally.

  • LifeFlight Foundation
  • Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association
  • Maine Coast Heritage Trust
  • Amani Center for Street Children in Tanzania
  • Bahamas National Trust

I am running as a clean elections candidate. Thanks to an outpouring of support, I have met all my contribution obligations for the primary. If you would like to support my general election campaign, you may contribute $5 here,
