Let’s keep the Maine house blue.

A ninth generation Mainer, I am proud to lead Maine House Democrats as the first and only African American female Speaker of the House since statehood. I have the honor of representing a truly amazing group of Democratic House members, who currently hold the majority in the Maine House, on behalf of you and all Maine people.

I have proudly dedicated my entire career to public service and social justice. Prior to my time in the legislature, I served as the City of Portland’s Director of Equal Opportunity and Multicultural Affairs and led the NAACP in Maine. As a lawmaker, I worked extensively on justice reform and am passionate about equity for all Mainers.

Today, I am excited to lead House Democrats as we work to find common ground on the issues that matter most for our constituents. Our top priorities this session are ensuring all Mainers have access to affordable housing, advocating for paid family leave, and expanding childcare opportunities. But, we also need to be doing more to promote local farmers and food producers, bringing lesser heard voices to the table, and advancing rural progress in Maine.

Although the next election may seem far away, we are already working to maintain and expand our Democratic majority in 2024. To help us continue our important work for the people of Maine, please consider supporting the Maine House Democratic Campaign Committee, which is the only organization solely dedicated to protecting a Democratic majority in the Maine House. All of our efforts, and all of your contributions, go directly to helping the House races in Maine that will determine the majority in 2024 and beyond. It’s hard to find a more important cause, or a more efficient and effective way to direct your precious dollars and support.

Thank you for your continued support of the Maine House Democratic Campaign Committee!
