Education

Our students deserve strong academics alongside real-world skills—critical thinking, communication, and adaptability. When education is underfunded or undervalued, small towns and rural communities feel it first. . Learn more

Education is one of the most meaningful investments we can make in Maine’s future. In towns like South Berwick, schools are community anchors. They support families, bring people together, and shape whether young people feel they can build a future here or are forced to leave to find opportunity elsewhere. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Environmental protection, climate resilience, and healthcare are deeply connected. When we protect our environment, we protect our people—and when we plan wisely, we reduce long-term costs for communities. Learn more

We see it in warming oceans that affect fisheries, in changing winters that impact roads and school schedules, and in storms that strain town budgets. Clean air, clean water, and healthy forests are essential to Maine’s economy and way of life. Learn more

Guns

I believe in the constitutional right to bear arms and respect Maine’s long tradition of responsible gun ownership—whether for hunting, sport, or personal protection. At the same time, we cannot ignore the devastating impact of gun violence, especially when it affects children and families. Even in Maine, these moments ripple through close-knit communities and leave lasting scars. Learn more

I believe we can respect individual rights and take thoughtful, practical steps to keep people safe. These values are not in conflict—they are part of our shared responsibility to one another. Learn more

Healthcare

Access to affordable, reliable healthcare is essential to the well-being of Maine families and communities. No one should have to delay care, skip prescriptions, or live with uncertainty because of cost, access, or policy decisions made far away from home. Learn more

Healthcare should be a source of security - not stress. I will work to protect and strengthen Maine's healthcare system so people can focus on living healthy, stable lives. Learn more

I believe protecting healthcare means safeguarding coverage, strengthening rural and community-based providers, and ensuring mental health care is treated with the same urgency as physical health. It also means supporting the healthcare workers who keep our system running and making sure care remains accessible across every corner of our state. Learn more

Immigration

The actions and practices of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have caused real harm to families and communities across this country. Raids, detention, and intimidation do not make us safer—they tear families apart, spread fear, and push people into the shadows when they should feel safe going to school, work, or the doctor. Learn more

I believe immigration policy should be grounded in dignity, due process, and humanity—not cruelty or political theater. Our communities are stronger when we protect families, uphold civil rights, and focus public resources on care and safety, not punishment. As a leader, I will always stand against policies that dehumanize our neighbors and will fight for an immigration system that reflects our shared values of fairness, compassion, and justice.

Taxes / Budget

Property tax relief must be a top priority at the state level. That means the state stepping up to fully fund the services it requires of towns, reducing the burden pushed on local property tax payers. It also means targeted relief for those feeling the greatest strain, while protecting essential local services. Learn more
