Mark has heard from neighbors and hard working Mainers who are forced to choose between paying a medical bill, putting food on their table, or paying for heat. This is not a choice anyone should have to make. In Augusta, he'll fight to make sure quality healthcare is accessible and affordable for every family in this district, not just the wealthy.

Maine's property taxes keep growing while working families fall further behind. The current system doesn't give middle-class homeowners the relief they deserve, and Mark has seen that firsthand right here in District 33. He'll push for real legislation that reduces the pressure on working families, not just talk about it.

Too many people in our district are working long hours to make ends meet, with nothing left over for retirement or healthcare. Mark has spent 15 years at the bargaining table fighting for better wages and defined benefits for working people, and he'll bring that same fight to Augusta.

The cost of childcare is crushing families across this state. Mark has seen this struggle up close with his own family members, and he knows it's one of the biggest barriers keeping working parents from getting ahead. He'll work to make childcare more manageable for every family, because when parents can work, everyone benefits.
