Age: 34
Birthplace: Lewiston
Occupation: Web site designer /state representative
Address: 135 Hogan Road, Lewiston
Education: Bachelor’s degree in English-creative writing, University of Maine
Experience: Four years state representative from Lewiston (member business and economic development and judiciary committees); four years owner of retail business, five years self-employed Web site designer, 10 months VISTA (domestic Peace Corps) helping with welfare-to-work program; 11/2 years insurance agent for Prudential; student body president University of Maine; three years Salvation Army advisory board vice chair
Top three priorities if elected:
. Taxes: Maine’s punitive tax system drives opportunities away. Maine needs a solid Republican voice articulating a lower-tax, less-government message.
. Transportation: Maine ranks 48th in federal investment per mile of federal highway. I will push to be on the Transportation Committee and fight for our fair share.
. Telecommunications: We must forge a rural coalition to bring technology into rural America. My experience in the high-tech field will benefit Maine’s future.
