Affordable housing, cost of childcare, healthcare and utilities, climate change, gun violence, and the closing of nursing homes across the state.
By engaging donors at their doors, at community forums and through regular communications directly and through the media.
Developers must be incentivized to build affordable housing. The State can provide new funding sources to leverage private, municipal and federal support for innovative projects of all types and sizes. A Local Option Lodging Tax could provide property tax relief and money for local projects that increase ownership and rental opportunities.
My first grandchild was born in Portland a few months ago. I know first-hand that working families need affordable childcare and health care.

They deserve a clean environment, stable climate, and a government that is responsive to the people.

For more than a decade, I have been a climate activist, bringing local solutions to MDI that save people money and reduce carbon emissions. I led Maine Citizens for Clean Elections to make government transparent and accountable to the voters. I helped found Our Power to make electric utilities more reliable, less expensive and powered by renewables.
