Who am I? Why am I running?
Problem solving to improve people's lives is in my DNA. It led me to become a lawyer and, more recently, a Town Councilor. In whatever role I take on, I listen, do my homework, and collaborate with others to find solutions and build support to implement them. I then finish the job, achieving tangible results.
My record of getting the job done speaks for itself. When I was elected to a three-year term on the Town Council, I asked myself, What can I hope to accomplish in three years? Since then, I put the time in and achieved two goals that had been elusive for our community. First, Yarmouth approved dam removal and secured grants to remove the Bridge Street dam this summer. Second, Yarmouth approved its first workforce housing project in decades, which will deliver eco-friendly, farmhouse style homes to our Growth Area, subsidized by MaineHousing.
Earlier this year, Art Bell, our wonderful State Representative, told me he had decided not to seek re-election. When he asked if I would run for his seat with his endorsement, it just made sense as a way for me to continue to serve the community. As your State Representative, I will bring the same energy, work ethic, and coalition-building skills I used on the Town Council to representing you in Augusta.
I invite you to visit the other tabs on my website to learn more about my experience and community engagement. You can also see a list of neighbors who are endorsing me and fill out forms to share your concerns or support my campaign. Thanks for being here!
