Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running because we need more voices for the underdogs. Our safety nets and ladders of opportunity have been weakened. Wages are low. Augusta keeps boosting corporate welfare and income tax breaks that mainly help the rich, while indirectly jacking up property taxes by stiffing schools and towns, which disproportionately hurts the working class, the middle class, and small businesses. Maine has huge potential. With a level playing field we will have stronger competition and a stronger economy.
