Q&A

1) Define what “success” would look like if you are elected to serve your district.
I would like to make it possible for people to weatherize their homes. Success is making things a little easier for the average person who lives in my district.

2) Characterize your view on public access to governmental business.
I see the Legislature as a bigger version of the town meeting system that works so well in New England. We will figure out a way to make this state work for all. It’s important to work with people from all over the state and both parties.
