Today I got to spend a minute with my friends at American Roots , a longtime staple of the Dana Warp Mill, and hear union leaders speak alongside Hannah Pingree and Troy Jackson about workers’ rights, public education, healthcare, childcare, immigration, and Maine’s future.
As a mother and small-business owner, these issues aren’t abstract to me. They shape our everyday lives and the stability we’re trying to build for our families. I want a future where my daughter has opportunities, families can access the care they need, and working people and small businesses have a real chance to thrive.
That’s why I’m voting for Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate. Hearing these issues discussed in practical, thoughtful terms was genuinely encouraging, especially when so many of us feel disillusioned with politics. The decisions our elected officials make have real consequences for the people who call Maine home.
And I got to meet Troy, too! He was being pulled in a million directions. When I asked for a picture, he thought I wanted to talk. He had to run, but then came BACK to find me and chat for a minute. A small gesture that left me with a good feeling. ❤️
No politician should be above scrutiny, and we won’t agree on everything. But I believe our choices matter. I believe in a Maine where families have a fair shot and public service means taking people’s real lives seriously.
MAINE, LET’S SHOW UP. ❤️
Feeling disillusioned or wondering whether your vote matters? I get it. Ask questions, do your research, and make your own decision. But please, use your voice.
Feeling antsy about the election? Consider canvassing for a candidate you believe in. Plenty of people are undecided or disengaged. You don’t have to reach a thousand people to make a difference. One meaningful conversation can matter. You can be part of the change you want to see.
Today, October 29, is the last day to vote early in person by absentee ballot at your municipal clerk’s office. Check your local hours and make a plan!
The future we’re building together is worth showing up for. ❤️
