From tackling the affordability crisis and confronting climate change, to strengthening health care for all Maine people and protecting the rule of law so every member of our community is safe and our rights our protected, I will always put our communities first.
On the Issues
My Priorities in Service to Scarborough & Gorham in the Maine Senate:
-
In the Senate, I will continue building on my work to lower energy costs and accelerate Maine’s clean energy transition, closing costly loopholes, reducing our over reliance on volatile natural gas, expanding affordable renewable energy, and ensuring our climate policies deliver real savings for Maine people.
-
I will keep pushing for stronger state investment in education to ease the burden on local property taxpayers in Scarborough and Gorham, particularly those on fixed income who deserve our support in keeping members of our community in their homes, while ensuring every student has access to high-quality public schools, building on the progress we’ve made while focusing on long-term affordability.
-
In the Senate, I will build on my work to strengthen civil rights protections, protecting Maine residents from federal targeting of our immigrant neighbors, overreach against LGBTQIA* Mainers, and structural racism against Black and Brown Mainers, while advancing criminal justice reform, increasing transparency and accountability, and ensuring all in our state are treated with dignity and fairness under the law.
-
I will continue advancing policies that expand access to affordable, high-quality care, lowering prescription drug prices, protecting reproductive healthcare, strengthening public health systems, and addressing gaps in care for underserved Mainers in our communities.
-
In the Senate, I will continue working to lower costs, strengthen worker protections, and hold large corporations accountable, building an economy that works for people, not special interests.
-
I will continue leading efforts to protect and expand reproductive freedom, building on legislation I’ve advanced to safeguard access to care and ensure that personal healthcare decisions remain with individuals, not politicians.
-
I will keep pushing to strengthen tribal sovereignty and self-determination for the Wabanaki Nations, building on ongoing efforts to address historic inequities and support economic opportunity and respect for tribal governance.
Last year alone, I passed 11 bills championing issues from energy costs, climate change, criminal justice reform, civil rights, and public health:
