What do you see as the greatest challenges facing Maine right now?
How will you encourage greater civic engagement among your constituents?
What will you do to address the need for affordable housing?
Is there anything else you'd like voters to know about you?
Affordable housing and utilities. Job availability would reduce financial burdens. Rising prices affect all segments of society especially our elderly and underprivileged.
Meeting with constituents via electronic means is helpful in this rural district. I have erected a geodesic dome where we can meet and train (aspiring farmers). I am starting a Facebook/YouTube streaming group. We can talk about EVERYTHING under the political sun.
I am starting a collaborative small scale organic farming initiative.
I have designed a new type of inter generational public housing. It is part of a larger plan designed to help our elderly that want free of taking care of their property but don’t want to leave their neighborhood.
The idea is a number of small units, one central year round greenhouse, and a parking garage.
I’ll start with smaller solutions.
These units will be solar powered. Rent will be reasonable for the area and 20-25% of rent payments remain in escrow for the tenant. Upon leaving the rental unit, there would be a nice addition to help with a down payment for purchasing a home.
I believe in thinking outside the box. I believe we have to bring tradition with us as we go forward. We do not recognize change at our peril.
I’m a retired USAF vet who loves her country and loves the state of Maine. Service is a calling. I have served for 24 years. I’m serving as an accessor now. I strive to continue my service in the House.
