Expand Housing
1. Housing Supply & Smart Growth
We need to build more housing—plain and simple. I support practical, community-driven solutions that make it easier to create new homes, reuse underutilized buildings, and encourage responsible development that fits the character of our towns.
2. Workforce & Local Housing
Our workforce should be able to live in the communities they serve. I will advocate for policies that support attainable housing for working families, ensuring teachers, healthcare workers, and small business employees aren’t priced out of our region.
3. Revitalizing Existing Spaces
Many of our communities have vacant or underused properties with untapped potential. I want to incentivize the redevelopment of these spaces into quality housing, breathing new life into our downtowns while expanding housing options.
4. Balanced, Community-Focused Solutions
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to housing. I believe in working closely with municipalities, developers, and residents to find balanced solutions that increase availability while preserving what makes our communities special.
5. Cutting Red Tape
Good projects shouldn’t get stuck in unnecessary bureaucracy. I’ll push for more efficient permitting and clearer processes so we can move housing projects forward faster—without sacrificing quality or local input.
6. Long-Term Affordability
We need to think beyond short-term fixes. I support strategies that ensure housing remains attainable over time, helping future generations put down roots and build their lives right here in Maine.
