Democratic candidate for House District 109.
Spending time with family, swimming with my grandkids, running and biking, volunteering at events.
I would support funding community outreach programs for people struggling with addictions. Legislation to educate care providers on responsible prescription of opiates would also be helpful.
I would support legislation to increase training and funding to DHHS in an effort to combat overworked, under-staffed and under-trained employees from making similar mistakes in the future.
I would support letting school districts decide at the local level.
We need to figure out a way to make healthcare affordable for more Maine residents. I am supportive of the Medicaid expansion and hopeful it will be implemented soon.
Increasing healthcare for senior citizens should be a priority for our state, but I do not support Question 1 as it stands.
I am disappointed with the political posturing; many voters I spoke with are unhappy as well. We need to work together to do what is right for the people of Maine, not the party or ourselves.
I ran my first 5K at age 55 and continue to run in one or two per year. Running for a House seat is more like running in a marathon.
