For 32 years I have run a local consulting business that helps nonprofits succeed, helping hundreds of organizations in our district and across Maine. These organizations provide local housing, food security, rural healthcare, playgrounds, education, arts and culture, transportation, healthy aging services, and so many other services we all depend on.

I co-founded A Climate to Thrive, Maine Climate Action Now, and Our Power, the organization behind the Pine Tree Power campaign. I founded and now chair the Progressive Caucus, which has been a force for tax fairness and affordability, including the millionaire's tax which generates $100 million annually for health care, nursing homes, housing, veterans, childcare, and free school lunches.
