Top three priorities if elected:
. Promoting jobs through increased funding for transportation and research and development, fostering technology in rural areas, and fighting for Maine’s farming, fishing and forestry industries.
. Reducing insurance costs by correcting the Medicare reimbursement formula, reducing the number of uninsured, enacting a Medicare prescription drug benefit, and bolstering veterans’ health care.
. Fully funding the federal share of special education, which currently drives up local property taxes by shortchanging Maine communities more than $70 million a year.
