Money, the grubby part of the campaign, is all taken care of so let's get on with the issues. May the candidate with the best combination of knowledge and values win!!
Generally, Maine should be run like a family, not like a business - Businesses are based on competition and losers are left behind, families are based on cooperation and those who are struggling are helped.
Voting Green in 115 is safe.
Many people worry that voting for a Green might split the progressive vote and let a Republican slip through, and though the Democrat might not be ideal the Republican might be worse. This is a legitimate fear in many races, but it is nothing to be afraid of in District 115. In 2010 when I ran for the Maine House I finished second, beating the Republican by 10%. Republicans have never done better than 20% in this District, and won't this year either. Voting for me will not turn the district Republican, but it might turn it Green. And if you look at what I stand for I am what Democrats used to be. I stand for the values you want, just with a different initial next to my name.
I invite people to ask me questions on where I stand and/or why. I particularly invite all who are interested to contact me and help with my campaign. I need volunteers to help brainstorm, pass out literature, knock on doors, talk with friends about me, write letters to the editor supporting me, put signs in their yards, and especially host little house parties where I can meet people in the district and answer their questions and concerns.
