Even though my district boundaries have changed, my priorities have not. I will continue to work diligently to support energy generation and distribution opportunities. Additional investment in energy infrastructure is key to improving our economy and quality of life by lowering the cost of living for families as well as keeping and attracting healthy businesses in our region. A major number of jobs in Southeast depend on sustainable industries in fishing, timber, mining, tourism and maritime technology. A central focus of my work in the legislature is to provide targeted incentives, access to resources and affordable energy to ensure these industries are competitive and strong. Providing reliable transportation infrastructure is another top priority of mine. This includes new ferries to replace our aging fleet, maintaining our airports and harbors and building roads to access our natural resources. My other top priorities include providing a quality public education system for our children, creating safe communities, preserving our unique culture and exercising fiscal discipline.
