As a first-time legislator, one of my priorities was, and continues to be, to support businesses in my District 107, which includes Skowhegan and part of East Madison.
I’ve been concerned about people not having access to good paying jobs and made it a goal whenever I could. When businesses open and thrive, they create those jobs–everybody wins.
One of the times I had an opportunity to help in that role was at Laney’s service station on Madison Avenue in Skowhegan.
Glen Laney was having difficulty negotiating the red tape and I was able to connect him with the right people at the right time so he was able to reopen after purchasing the station.
Part of my job as a legislator is to help people navigate through the system. This case was an even bigger pleasure because so many other constituents had called me about not having a full service station in Skowhegan last winter; they’re really pleased too.
My job as a state representative is especially rewarding when I can see that I have made a difference in people’s lives, which is why I’m running again–to make a positive difference.
