“With over twenty-five years spent in the Maine State House, I have had the opportunity to forge strong relationships and trust with legislators, staff and advocates from across the political spectrum. In a space where reputation serves as a unique form of currency, these contacts are foundational to my work at Serlin Haley.
“Helping people to understand and navigate the legislative process has been at the heart of my career. Integrity and experience matter when you are working to ensure that your voice and your concerns are heard and elevated.
“My experience affords me knowledge of the process that few have; I am highly adept at moving legislation through the process or stopping it in its tracks. My ability to listen, bring people together when needed, and explain complex issues in a manner that is easily understood is respected by legislators, staff, and clients.”
