Q&A

1) Define what “success” would look like if you are elected to serve your district.

Facilitate alternate school funding & decrease local property tax, e.g. public/private partnerships, state endowment & PILOT program supports, micro-taxes, community benefit agreements & more.

2) Name one issue the Legislature handled last session. Explain why you agree or disagree with the final outcome.

L.D. 1619, Act to Improve Maine’s Reproductive Privacy Laws, should have gone to referendum so Mainers could have voted on whether we want state constitutional protections for reproductive rights.
