Candidate Spotlight Invitation

Supica currently represents House District 22 and is serving her third term in the Maine House. She previously served on the Bangor City Council and currently chairs the Legislature’s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee.

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 22, 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 22 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 Supica chooses to participate, The Maine Mirror will publish her responses in a follow-up Candidate Spotlight using her 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.
