About Abigail

I never expected to run for office. I didn’t think I had anything special to offer. I didn’t study politics, I’m not a CEO or a lawyer, what could I bring to the table? I’m a mom who wants to make sure my daughter’s world is as good as it can be. I’m a daughter who’s had to rearrange work to take care of my parents. I’m the primary provider juggling childcare, work, and hustling to make ends meet. I know what real life is like and I’m willing to listen to you and do what I can to help. I’ve come to realize that matters more than fancy credentials. Listening matters. Showing up to work with people and solve problems matters, especially now.

My life hasn’t followed a straight line. I’ve worked a range of jobs, built relationships to get things done, and taken on the kind of caretaking responsibilities that reshape your path and your priorities. Through all of it, I’ve learned that nothing is guaranteed, and that when people are left to carry things on their own, it doesn’t work. Strong communities depend on us showing up for each other.

Now that I’m raising my daughter here I’m looking around me with even more appreciation for what makes Maine and our special part of it so wonderful. And I also see communities struggling to maintain services, rising costs pushing people out, and not enough opportunity for people who want to build a life here. I’m running to bring a more collaborative, grounded approach to government—one that listens, works with people, and focuses on real solutions. I want to help build a Maine where people can stay, where communities are supported, and where the next generation can see a future for themselves right here at home.

  • I want to bring a different approach to how we’re represented in Augusta: one rooted in collaboration, respect, and the idea that our state government is not something that happens to us, it’s something we do together.

  • I’m running because I want my daughter to grow up in a Maine where opportunity exists, where community still means something, and where people feel heard and represented. I want her to know I did everything I could to make that future possible.

  • I care deeply about building a future where people can stay here, build lives here, and raise families here. That means supporting small businesses and creating pathways for people who want to start something but don’t know where to begin.

What Matters Most

Childcare & Working Families

Childcare is one of the biggest barriers facing working families. If you can’t find it or afford it, you can’t work, it’s that simple. I’m focused on making childcare more accessible and affordable so families can stay here and build stable lives.

Healthcare Access That Actually Works

Healthcare shouldn’t mean long drives, long waits, or going without. Right now, too of us are struggling to access care locally. We need to strengthen rural providers, protect coverage, and make sure basic healthcare is available and affordable in our communities.

Jobs & Small Businesses

This is a district where people want to work—and we do! But we need more opportunities close to home. I want to support small businesses, expand workforce training and apprenticeships, and make it easier for people to start something of their own. That includes practical things like broadband access and removing barriers like limited childcare access that keep people out of the workforce.

Strengthening EMS & Emergency Services

Our emergency services are stretched thin, and towns can’t solve it alone anymore. We’re struggling to recruit and retain EMS and fire personnel, and that affects response times and safety. We need a statewide approach—real investment in workforce development and retention—so every community can rely on the help they need in life-and-death moments.

Supporting Seniors

A lot of people here rely on Social Security and Medicare, benefits they’ve earned over a lifetime of work. I believe we need to protect them, lower prescription drug costs, and make sure people can actually access care when they need it. While we all face property taxes that have to cover more and more it’s an issue that needs special attention for seniors to make sure they aren’t priced out of their own lives.

Education That Prepares Our Kids

Strong schools are a must for the future health of our state. I support fully funding public education, keeping decision-making local, and making sure students have real pathways—whether that’s college or career and technical education.
