Abortion / Contraception That’s why I will fight to codify Roe v. Wade into law, restore and improve funding to Planned Parenthood, and ensure women across Maine and the country have access to the reproductive healthcare they need. Government Reform In Congress, I’ll fight fiercely for Maine’s tribal nations to have equality and sovereignty. Environment / Energy Maine can lead the way on clean energy and lower energy costs, all while protecting the industries and way of life that make our state home. I believe that starts with restoring tax credits for Mainers who want to install solar panels to power their homes with clean energy and save money. Defense / Veterans In Congress, I will make sure that the GI Bill, which has allowed so many veterans to earn a quality education, remains focused on the educational opportunities of the future. I am also a strong supporter of job training programs for our veterans so that they can quickly transition to good paying, civilian jobs that take advantage of their skills. Healthcare I support passing a Medicare for All system, and creating a single payer universal single-payer national health insurance system. Guns Everyone who buys a gun should go through a background check. Universal background checks are a just plain commonsense measure that make sure guns don’t fall into the hands of dangerous people: felons, domestic abusers, and those barred from having guns for mental health reasons. Too many gun sales happen without any check at all. I support closing the loopholes on gun shows, online sales, and person-to-person commercial sales. Environment / Energy Maine is also home to the most beautiful national park and national monuments in the country. In order to protect these for generations of Mainers to come, I will fight to fully staff our national parks and to protect them from drilling and development. Civil Rights In Congress, I’ll fight to pass the Equality Act to ensure LGBTQ Mainers can’t be discriminated against at work, when buying a house and in other key areas of life. Government Reform Pass federal voting rights so no eligible voter is denied their voice at the ballot box. Immigration We need both a secure border and comprehensive immigration reform. Smart, effective border security to keep our country safe, and real reform to fix the system. One without the other won’t work. Economy Simplify starting a business. It shouldn’t take tons of paperwork to open your business. I’ll create a single small business portal to upload necessary forms and tax filings. Immigration We must end unlawful arrests that occur without due process and warrants, and mandate proper identification for officers involved in immigration activities. Healthcare I will fight to protect both, starting with expanding Medicare’s ability to negotiate all drug prices to lower costs for Maine seniors, not just a select few. I will also fight to expand Medicare so it finally covers vision, dental, and hearing. Seniors shouldn’t have to worry about getting glasses, a hearing aid, or visits to the dentist. Taxes / Budget Lower taxes to 1% on first 50,000 earned, so families see real tax savings they can use to pay for household necessities, like groceries, heating oil, and rent. Taxes / Budget Impose an Ultra-Millionaire Tax on Households Worth Over 50 Million. Education As our next Congressman, I will fight to pass legislation that makes pre-K free for every Maine kid regardless of who they are or the zip code they grow up in. Social Services And to keep Social Security strong, I will oppose any attempts to privatize Social Security and work to make sure the Social Security Trust fund is solvent for the next generation of retirees. Education By making community college free, we can ensure that Mainers have access to the education and training programs to fill jobs open today and the jobs of the future, and as your next Congressman I’ll work to get it done. Economy Cap Overdraft Fees at 5, Stop Predatory Banking and Junk Fees. Housing Accelerate construction of new homes, including affordable units here in Maine, by cutting red tape and encouraging innovation like modular and 3D-printed housing.
