Candidate Spotlight Invitation

Campbell currently represents House District 19 in the Maine House of Representatives. He is also a longtime former legislator, having previously represented a different House district before returning to the Legislature following Maine’s redistricting.

1. What inspired you to seek election to the Maine House of Representatives?
2. What are the three most important issues facing the people of House District 19, and how do you hope to address them?
3. How has your experience prepared you for legislative service?
4. What principles or values guide your approach to public service?
5. Beyond politics, what would you most like the people of House District 19 to know about you?

The same five questions are being presented to candidates seeking election to the Maine House, regardless of party or political affiliation.

Participation is voluntary. If Campbell chooses to participate, The Maine Mirror will publish his responses in a follow-up Candidate Spotlight using his answers verbatim.

The goal of the Candidate Spotlight Series is simple: to give candidates an equal opportunity to speak directly to Mainers and give voters an opportunity to learn more about the people asking to represent them.
