A County We Can Count On.
Our democracy is in crisis, our immigrant neighbors are being torn from our schools and communities, and state and local governments can’t go it alone on issues that matter most to Mainers.
Whether its canceling the ICE contract, affordability, or homelessness, County government needs to step up and do its part.
That’s why I am running for County Commission as a Democrat.
