"After meeting Penthea I know that there's hope that our local, state, and national politics can change for the better. I know she will inspire others with her willingness to bring back the good ethics and principles that have been lost in politics.”

As your State Representative, I will work to . . .
Strengthen Maine’s Economy
We need to support local businesses, protect good jobs that pay living wages, and strengthen our efforts to attract businesses to Maine.
Spiraling health care costs are contributing to increases in personal bankruptcy and hurting Maine businesses. We need to find a way to increase access to affordable health care.
Our future demands that we reduce dependence on fossils fuels. I will support and promote investment in Maine’s renewable energy sources, for economic development consistent with Maine’s way of life.

"Penthea's leadership and experience in Augusta fighting for social justice as a youth advocate with the Muskie School will translate into representation we can all depend on.” Josh Gagnon, Lewiston High School, Class of 2008 & Public Relations Coordinator for Committee to Elect Penthea Burns

Build a Strong Future for Maine
Our children are beloved and they are the future of Maine. We must make a commitment to Maine’s children and to our future workforce by investing in quality day care, early education programs and public education.
We must develop economic opportunities that will keep youth in Maine. I will prioritize and support public education, ensuring access to higher education, and will work hard to bring jobs to Maine that will support our youth as they enter the workforce.
We must also support Maine families and children by ensuring that the environment around our children is clean and healthy. I will work hard to protect our natural resources and I will support efforts to clean one of our regions most prized natural resource, the Androscoggin River.
