In 2025, I became a dad and am fulfilling my dream of raising my family here in Maine. I believe all Mainers should be able to afford to raise their kids in the state we love so much. And that starts by ensuring the next generation of Mainers has access to early childhood education. We know that every $1 invested in early childhood education creates $7 in returns. 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.
