I am running for the Senate because I care about the State of Maine. I was born in Maine, lived in Maine my entire life, raised my family in Maine, and have numerous relatives throughout Saco, Biddeford and Old Orchard Beach.

I have also been a strong advocate for my constituents. I have earned a reputation among my fellow Legislators as someone who listens to both sides of an issue, does her homework, and votes for what I believe is in the best interest of the people.

I have avoided getting involved in the political posturing and partisan bickering in Augusta. I work hard and do my job. That is what I think Maine people want, and that is why I want to continue to serve the people in these communities.
