Thoughtful. Hardworking. Responsive.

Representing Falmouth, in District 111

About Amy

I care deeply about this community and believe in thoughtful, responsive leadership that listens, collaborates, and gets things done.

For more than 20 years, Falmouth has been home for my family and me. My husband Jamie and I moved here from Portland in 2004 because we wanted to raise our three kids in a community with outstanding schools, strong neighborhoods, and easy access to the outdoors. Like so many families here, we quickly put down roots through our schools, local organizations, and community life.

In addition to serving as your state representative for the last six years, I’m a member of the Maine Bar, with 20 years of experience working with nonprofit organizations. In the legislature, I have been proud to serve as the House Chair of the Judiciary Committee, addressing some of the most pressing issues of our times, and have sponsored and advanced numerous bills to make life better for Maine people.

But some of my favorite moments happen outside of work and public service — walking to Town Landing or the Falmouth Nature Preserve with our dog, spending time on Casco Bay, or skiing and snowshoeing in Rangeley.

What Matters Most

High Quality Education

High quality public education is an important driver for Maine’s future. We should support our K-12 students by providing schools with the resources they need to help all students catch up from the pandemic and go on to thrive. To do that, it is critical that the state continue to meet its 55% funding commitment. We can also provide opportunities for prosperity and help meet our work force needs by increasing access to higher education, including community colleges and the trades.

Environmental Protection

Maine needs to invest in clean, renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while growing good jobs in green industries. We must also cultivate our climate change resilience to mitigate impacts, including protecting vulnerable populations in our communities and vulnerable industries that are important to the state’s economy. Finally, we must safeguard our open spaces and natural resources to preserve what makes Maine a great place to live.

Preserving Our Free and Fair Elections

Maine has strong protections for our free and fair elections. I am committed to safeguarding those protections so that all eligible voters have access to the ballot.

Protecting Access to Healthcare

Decisions about reproductive healthcare are private and should be made between patients and their providers. Fortunately, Maine has strong protections that safeguard access to reproductive healthcare. I am committed to defending these longstanding protections.
