I’ve been answering questions and surveys. Since we are well into early voting, please see some of my answers to questions below.

1. If you are an incumbent, please describe a specific bill you personally proposed that was passed and signed into law by the governor, and explain how it benefits the residents of your district.
It has been a pleasure serving my district as State Representative for the past four years. I have had several bills receive unanimous bipartisan reports. One of these was submitted on behalf of a constituent to provide free cancer screening for firefighters. I have also sponsored and co-sponsored numerous bipartisan bills. I recently completed going door-to-door to every house in the district for a third time, because it is very important for me to hear directly from the people I serve.
I will submit legislation to place a cap on property taxes. My focus will be helping people afford to stay in their homes. I am proud of my record supporting lower taxes, less regulation, and lower energy costs.
2. What do you believe is the most important issue in this race, and how do you intend to address it?
Affordability. I will continue to support lower taxes, less regulation, and lower energy costs. There is a big difference between lip service and action. You cannot claim to support lower property taxes while backing measures that raise them. You cannot claim to support lower energy costs while voting to increase them. People are tired of being lied to and manipulated. We have a spending problem in Augusta. We need to remember that we serve the people in our districts and work for them. Over the past eight years of single-party rule, property taxes have skyrocketed, more than 30 new taxes have been imposed, and numerous business-killing regulations have taken effect. This is not “Maine the way life should be.”
3. What concrete steps can be taken to reduce the property tax burden for residents of your district and help them keep more of their hard-earned money?
I intend to submit LD 1, a bill that will place a cap on property taxes. After speaking with numerous constituents, I know many feel as though they are being grabbed by the ankles, shaken upside down, and having their hard-earned money confiscated. We need to listen and apply common sense. As the Declaration of Independence states, government derives its power from the consent of the governed. I have not heard many people consent to having more and more of their money taken by government to spend as it sees fit. Government is the vehicle; the people are the drivers. It is imperative that we listen to the people we work for and help them afford to stay in their homes.
4. Why did you choose to run for this specific position, and what do you hope to accomplish if elected?
This will be my third term. When I was first approached to run, I took time to think about it. I was sitting at home yelling at the television about the things happening in government. I decided I could either keep yelling at the television or run and be part of the change I wanted to see. I will continue supporting bills that lower taxes, reduce regulation, and lower energy costs. I will also submit a number of bills that constituents have asked me to introduce on their behalf.
5. Please list your budget priorities if elected and explain how they will impact the residents of your district.
I will continue to support legislation that controls out-of-control spending and taxes, reduces over-regulation that harms businesses, and lowers energy costs. As a member of the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee, I will also continue to advocate for academic excellence and parental rights.
6. Please share an example of a time when you successfully worked with people who disagreed with you. How do you plan to build bridges with members of the opposing party?
I grew up in a family with two “Kennedy Democrat” parents. I visit every household in my district and enjoy talking with everyone. I believe what unites us is greater than what divides us. When we have a genuine conversation, common ground almost always emerges. I have sponsored and co-sponsored a number of bills with colleagues from the other side of the aisle. I am currently planning on submitting a constituent bill -requested by someone from the other side of the aisle-for senior tax stabilization. When someone calls my office, I do not check their party affiliation. I help them because that is the job the people of Windham hired me to do.
