Considering the office you are running for, what do you feel are the three most pressing issues (350 words or less): I believe our most pressing issues are the issues that many towns in Maine as well as the rest of our country are experiencing. The rising cost of living, simply feeding ourselves and heating our homes, has become a great burden to many. With increasing costs, the threat of rising taxes is ever present and something of a concern as well. The changing environment has us looking at how to protect our drinking water and maintain our roadways, which are greatly affected by the extreme weather of late.
