Keep the Sea Change Coming...
Your $5 Donation Needed!
At the Feb. 10 Democratic caucuses, our area helped show
the state and the nation that the grassroots are motivated, and a sea change is coming.
To follow up on this success, your State Senate candidate
Seth Goodall and I each need your $5 donation to qualify for Clean Elections funding. As you know, a clear mandate
for change is needed in the State and U.S. Senates, which have been hamstrung by close margins and gridlock.
Clean Elections helps keep big money out of Maine politics.
Many small donations -- not a few big ones -- qualify candidates for public financing.
If you'd like to help my campaign or Seth's this fall, please
email me as well to let me know.
Thanks for your strong support!

As your State Representative, I use this site as another way to keep
you informed and to hear from you. I believe strong communication and a willingness to
work across party lines are critical as we work to move Maine forward.
