Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running because I firmly believe hardworking Mainers deserve dedicated representation in Augusta to cut taxes, to lessen onerous regulations, and to encourage policy that lets people themselves, not government, decide what is best for their families. I am running to strengthen public safety in Maine. I have worked in public safety for over a decade, as a firefighter, police officer and advanced emergency medical technician. Our firefighters, police officers and emergency medical personnel are our first line of defense. We have a responsibility to provide adequate resources, equipment and training so they can safely and adequately perform their duties.
