Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

For Maine to prosper, our public schools must produce well-educated, innovative, and creative graduates who want to use their talents here to continue to build a better state. To do that, educators must be able to focus on educating our state's children without the burden of excessive, unfunded mandates and unforeseen cuts in aid from Augusta. As an active member of the Cape Elizabeth School Board, I was a strong proponent for fair funding for our schools and spent time working with legislators and elected officials from other districts to ensure equitable support for students in Cape Elizabeth and surrounding towns. As a graduate of Maine's public education system and with children in our public schools, I am committed to maintaining the quality our citizens have come to expect.
