Lowering the Cost of Living
Maine families are being squeezed by rising prices, high property taxes, and an energy cost crisis. Michael believes government should reduce the burden on working people, not add to it.
About Michael
Michael D. Perkins
Michael D. Perkins is a Maine resident who knows firsthand what it means to work hard, build a life, and invest in the communities that make this state worth fighting for. Rooted in the values of personal responsibility, fiscal discipline, and honest government, Michael has stepped forward to bring a fresh, grounded voice to Augusta — one that reflects the priorities of everyday Mainers in District 66, not career politicians or special interests. Michael is running because he believes Maine's state government has drifted too far from the concerns of working families, small business owners, and the tradespeople who keep this state running. Rising costs, regulatory overreach, and a legislature that too often ignores rural and working-class voices convinced him that waiting on the sidelines was no longer an option. He is committed to bringing practical, results-oriented leadership to Augusta. As the only candidate filed in District 66, Michael represents a clear choice for voters who want a representative who will actually listen, show up, and fight for lower taxes, better local schools, and a Maine economy that works for everyone. He is ready to roll up his sleeves, engage with constituents directly, and deliver the kind of accountable, transparent representation that District 66 deserves.
- Cut state spending and oppose new taxes that burden working Maine families
