I am a disabled veteran who spent 16 years working in Search and Rescue for the US Coast Guard. I now work as a professor at USM and SMCC. Since I first joined the Coast Guard at 17 I have tried to live a life of service to (for) my country; from volunteering with local fire and ocean rescue departments to working in food pantries and with local women’s veterans groups I have tried to give back wherever I can. This same desire to help my country and community led to my decision to run to represent our district in Augusta.
I love our government, but I believe that more can be done to benefit our great state and local community. As your representative, I will work to help the environment through legislation that will protect our lakes, rivers, and well water. I will also work to help keep our residents safe. Our state’s crime lab needs more funding to process the huge amount of untested rape kits in Maine. Giving the crime labs this funding would not only allow victims of sexual assault to get the justice they’ve been waiting for, but it would also help police get the evidence they need to solve other crimes so they can get criminals off our streets.
I love our district and want to do everything in my power to help all those who live here. I want to listen to you and take what I’ve learned to fight on your behalf in the State House. As your representative, I will be guided by your voices, not partisan politics or ideology. I’ve spent years serving my country, now let me serve you.

I feel so fortunate to live next to the beautiful Sebago Lake. As your representative, I will work to pass legislation to protect Sebago and all other lakes and rivers, so their beauty can continue to be enjoyed by all. I will also make sure large corporations aren’t able to take unsustainably large quantities of our groundwater. These actions will help safeguard Maine’s water resources for its farmers, local businesses, and residents for generations to come.
As a woman and a mother to a young woman, women’s rights are paramount to me. I believe that pregnancy-related decisions should always remain between the woman and her doctor; free from government overreach.
I support all the uniformed men and women working hard to keep our communities safe. We must give them the tools needed to find criminals and get them off our streets. This is why we must give them the requested funding for the Maine Crime Lab. This funding would allow them to process the hundreds of untested rape kits in Maine and implement the reforms needed for rape kit processing; reforms that have already been adopted by all other 49 states. Processing these kits could get justice for hundreds of sexual assault survivors and get dangerous predators off the streets. The DNA from these rape kits could also be the evidence necessary to solve various other unsolved crimes.
