A New Full-Time Job: Fighting for Maine

There comes a point when you realize the work you’re called to do is bigger than any title, paycheck, or office. For me, that moment came when I chose to leave my full-time job — not to step back, but to step up.

I’ve taken on a new role: fighting for Maine as a full-time candidate for Governor.

This wasn’t an easy decision. Like many of you, I’ve worked long hours, provided for my family, and carried the weight of responsibility that comes with a steady job. Walking away from that security isn’t simple. But the truth is, our state can’t wait. The challenges we face are too urgent, and the opportunities in front of us are too important.

I believe Maine deserves leadership that shows up every single day — with grit, honesty, and the willingness to make tough calls. That’s the work I’ve chosen to dedicate myself to, and it’s not a side project. It’s my full-time commitment.

This campaign isn’t about me. It’s about us — about families who want a future here, about communities that need investment, about young people who deserve a reason to stay, and about seniors who’ve given so much and should never be forgotten.

I’m all in. I’m betting on Maine. And I’m asking you to join me. Together, we can build the future our state deserves.

👉 Join the campaign today — whether by signing up, donating, or volunteering, your support makes all the difference.
