Top three priorities if elected:

Work to gain additional funding for road construction and road repair funds for northern Maine. A key to economic development is quality roads and I will see to it that we receive our share of funds.

Address the school funding to make certain that our children receive a quality education. We must, together, also find a way to fund quality education so that there will be no need to continually increase local property taxes.

Reintroduction of anti-scab legislation banning the hiring of replacement workers during labor negotiations or a strike.
