On The Issues

Championing Affordability

Affordability is one of the most pressing issues facing Scarborough residents today. When residents struggle to keep up with housing costs, property taxes, healthcare and everyday essentials, it affects the stability of the entire community.

As your State Representative, Mary Shannon’s priority will be to advocate for policies that support people’s ability to live, work and age in the town they love.

Sharing Growth Responsibly

Responsible growth is essential to ensuring Maine remains a place where families can thrive. As our communities expand, we must balance new development with the infrastructure and housing needed to support it while protecting our natural resources. Mary Shannon will advocate for balanced, responsible growth that recognizes all Scarborough has already contributed and ensures we are not asked to bear that burden by ourselves.

Protecting Local Voices in Education

Maine’s history of local control in education has allowed communities to shape their schools around their unique needs and priorities. As your Representative, Mary Shannon Lindstrom will work directly with the School Board, Town Council and the community to ensure Scarborough’s educational needs are strongly represented.
