Colleen's priorities include:
Economic Development, including:
More funds for technical training at the community college level to make entry into high-paying computer, software, laboratory, bio-sciences and renewable energy possible for our young people.
Regulatory reform for locally-grown food and organic farmers to make it easier for Maine citizens to afford healthy, pesticide-free food for themselves and their families.
Infrastructure investment, particularly in broadband to rural communities, free WiFi in all public buildings, more computers and better software in schools and colleges, and more incentives for high-tech businesses to invest in our region.

Health Care, Mental Health, DHHS Reform -- Maine's social service system is broken and needs to be fixed. We have to stop paying fines, and start expanding benefits.
