Republican · Maine Senate District 7
New leadership
for an
affordable Maine.
“I’m a bookkeeper ready to go audit Augusta.”



A real neighbor
Rooted in
Ellsworth.
Cheryl isn’t a slick DC politician - she’s a hardworking member of the Ellsworth community who understands the challenges Maine families face every day.
As a health care worker at Northern Light Maine Coast Hospital in Surgical Services, she sees firsthand the importance of reliable, accessible care. As a bookkeeper and small business owner, she knows exactly what it takes to balance a budget and stretch a dollar.
She has dedicated her life to service - as a former middle and high school teacher, and as a Sunday School teacher at Downeast Calvary Chapel for 27 years. She is a devoted wife, mother of four, and proud grandmother of 14.
A platform for the people
Five priorities.
One Maine.
Cheryl’s priorities start with a simple question: will this make life more affordable, accountable, and secure for Maine families?
