I BELIEVE YOU DESERVE A REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS . . .

Pragmatic

Independent

I search for practical solutions that work and move us forward.

Thrifty

I know money is hard to come by, for families and for towns. Tax dollars should be used sparingly and for the greatest impact.

Locally Focused

 I put people over party loyalty. We may not agree, but I will always listen and respect you and your opinions.


Here's a blog I wrote on "Why I am Not a Democrat."

I have supported small farms through creation of a Food Sovereignty Ordinance, bike and pedestrian safety planning, and community revitalization planning in Gray's village center.     


I have heard from many seniors, and families with modest incomes, about the need for public transportation options, and am eager to work on this issue as State Representative.


My family and I are proud to have called Gray home for the past 34 years, and we are dedicated to helping Gray and New Gloucester shine as livable, welcoming, and affordable communities.

As Vice-Chair of the Gray town council, I have worked to keep the mill rate flat during the last two years, keeping property taxes affordable. I have helped the G-NG ATV Club secure state funding to help repair ATV trails off of Long Hill Road, and through my work with the new Open Space Committee I continue to look for ways to preserve ATV trails.

Working both in Maine and nationally, I've written more than $168 million in successful public grants since founding my business in 1993, including the federal Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Labor, and Justice. 


I've helped clients respond to Requests for Proposals from MaineHousing, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education. I also founded the Building Materials Exchange, now in Lisbon, ME, which has helped thousands of low-income Maine homeowners make their houses safe, warm, and weather tight at prices they can afford.

I support:

  • Keeping property taxes low through continuing to honor the State’s obligation to pay 55% of the cost of K-12 education. 
  • Bringing people from diverse backgrounds together to plan for our communities’ future. 
  • Supporting community efforts to build prosperity through dissemination of new ideas, and providing support for planning and pre-development engineering, etc. 
  • Exploring opportunities to save taxpayer dollars through coordination/collaboration; Gray and New Gloucester already share a school district- what else can we do together to save tax dollars
  • Supporting working families and seniors through expanding access to affordable housing, health care, child care, and paid family leave. Improving self-sufficiency, and supporting small, home-based business, by protecting the right to produce food locally. 
  • Helping Gray and New Gloucester continue to be great places to live, work, and play.
  • Protecting against climate change by upgrading stormwater infrastructure, and transitioning to renewable energy where possible. 
  • Protecting the right to vote through nonpartisan strategies such as installing secure ballot boxes, early voting, vote by mail, as well as in-person voting.  
  • Women's equality and right to safe, affordable abortion and to contraception.
  • Public transportation options, and creating walkable, bikable communities.
