Lowering the Cost of Living
Maine families are being squeezed by rising property taxes, high energy bills, and grocery costs that keep climbing. Rebecca will fight to reduce the tax burden on working families and push back against policies that drive up the cost of everyday life.
District 45 residents know that making ends meet in Maine has become harder every year. Rebecca supports cutting wasteful state spending, opposing new taxes on households and small businesses, and reforming property tax policies that are pushing long-time Maine residents out of their homes. She will advocate for lower energy costs by supporting affordable, reliable energy solutions — not expensive mandates that punish rural Mainers. Her goal is simple: keep more money in the pockets of the people who earned it.

Supporting Small Businesses
Small businesses are the backbone of District 45's economy, and they deserve a representative who will get Augusta off their backs. Rebecca will work to reduce regulatory burdens, simplify licensing requirements, and create conditions where local entrepreneurs can thrive.
Maine's small business owners have faced wave after wave of new regulations, mandates, and tax pressures from Augusta. Rebecca believes that if you reduce the red tape, local businesses will create jobs, grow their communities, and strengthen the regional economy without needing government subsidies. She will oppose unfunded mandates that fall disproportionately on small employers, push for streamlined permitting processes, and ensure that the voices of Main Street — not lobbyists — are heard in the State House.

Public Safety & Law Enforcement
Rebecca stands firmly behind Maine's law enforcement officers and first responders. She believes that safe communities are the foundation of everything else — good schools, strong businesses, and healthy families all depend on public safety.
Rebecca will oppose any effort to defund or undermine local police departments and sheriff's offices serving District 45. She supports fully funding public safety resources, giving law enforcement the tools and training they need, and ensuring that criminal justice policies prioritize the safety of victims and law-abiding citizens. She will also advocate for mental health and substance abuse resources that address root causes of crime while keeping consequences real and meaningful.

Protecting Maine's Natural Resources & Outdoor Heritage
Maine's forests, lakes, and wildlife are not just beautiful — they are central to our economy and our way of life. Rebecca will defend the rights of hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts while ensuring that land-use decisions reflect the needs of local communities, not distant bureaucrats.
District 45 is home to people whose livelihoods and lifestyles are deeply connected to Maine's land and water. Rebecca will stand against overreaching federal and state regulations that restrict access to public lands, threaten traditional land use, or undermine the forestry and fishing industries. She supports local control over resource decisions and will work to protect Second Amendment rights alongside hunting and fishing traditions that have defined Maine culture for generations.

Education & Parental Rights
Rebecca believes that parents — not the government — should have the primary voice in their children's education. She supports school choice, transparency in curriculum, and policies that put students' academic success first.
Maine's families deserve education options that work for their children, whether that means their local public school, a charter school, or another educational path. Rebecca will champion parental notification rights, push for greater transparency about what is being taught in classrooms, and oppose one-size-fits-all mandates from Augusta that ignore the unique needs of rural communities like those in District 45. She will also advocate for increased investment in vocational and technical education to prepare Maine students for high-demand careers right here at home.

Fiscal Responsibility & Limited Government
Maine state government has grown too large, spends too much, and too often tells people how to live their lives. Rebecca will be a consistent vote for fiscal discipline, government accountability, and respect for individual liberty.
Rebecca is committed to holding the line against bloated budgets, out-of-control borrowing, and the endless expansion of state programs that duplicate services or serve bureaucratic interests more than public ones. She believes that every dollar the government spends is a dollar taken from a Maine family or business, and she will demand accountability and results from every agency. Rebecca will push for regular audits of state programs, sunset provisions on new spending, and a state budget that lives within its means — just like Maine families have to do.
