Happy Mother’s Day! Today, I’m thinking about the woman who shaped my life more than anyone else....my mom. She taught me the value of hard work, the importance of honesty, and the strength it takes to care for others before yourself. Like so many mothers across our state, she

I grew up as the son of a third-generation logger and a school lunch lady in Patten. They showed me real leadership is about showing up, working hard, and helping others succeed. That’s the kind of leadership Maine deserves. When I’m governor, you can count on it.

My journey from UMaine Pulp & Paper scholar to Business School and supporting rural students through the Rural Futures Fund, fuels my commitment to invest in Maine’s greatest resource: our people. It’s time to reimagine state government as an ally, not an adversary.

Maine doesn’t need more grandstanding. We need solutions. With six years of one-party rule leading to higher costs, aging demographics, and falling student outcomes, it's time for problem-solving leadership that works for real people. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves.
