Get StartedOur bail code needs to be strengthened and not further diluted. The focus on low bail or no bail is not working and must be abandoned forthwith. The primary focus should be on public safety, but we must not lose sight of the fact that there needs to be respect for our judicial system and an inducement to the offender to appear to answer to their charges and not routinely fail to appear.

People who can barely afford their own personal electric bills are forced to subsidize solar panels for the wealthy. Learn more

Maine’s renewable energy portfolio standards mandate us to purchase premium-priced yet unreliable wind and solar power thereby driving up the non-competitive electricity prices here. Learn more
Allow people to keep the money they earn. Decrease government spending and lower taxes. If the rainy-day fund is full and essential government services are met, the people’s money gathered from over-taxing should be returned. Learn more
Focus on controlling government spending and ensuring it aligns with the actual needs of Maine's citizens. Learn more
Examine how we run our welfare system. End the “welfare cliff” by enacting policies that gradually reduce subsidies to prevent the loss of necessary benefits, such as childcare, until recipients become established in their employment. Learn more
