Q&A

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

I will speak for my district, when voting on legislation or dealing with red tape. Success is improving public safety and education and lowering the costs of energy and taxes. Success is relief for Mainers.

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

Fearing that ambulance services would go out of business due to lack of payments, I introduced L.D. 1832. The bill passed unanimously. This law will mean we have emergency responders when we need them.

OPPONENT: Nathaniel White, D-Fairfield
