Considering the office you are running for, what do you feel are the three most pressing issues (350 words or less): Three most pressing issues for Select Board of Wiscasset: 1) We need a broader tax base to cover the expenses of maintaining the costs of our current government. The town relied on funds received when Maine Yankee covered most of our expenses. We must do this while maintaining the character of Wiscasset. 2) We must decide between what we want and what we need when appropriating funds to be paid by taxpayers. We may want it, but can we afford it? 3) I am running for office because I care deeply about Wiscasset and preserving its character, keeping our buildings, infrastructure, and services up-to-date, and keeping it affordable for all our residents.

Any other thoughts on why you are running or what you can bring to the office? (150 words or less): None submitted
