Thank You, Scarborough
Thank you for allowing me the privileged to serve in the Maine House of Representatives. I dedicated myself to my job in Augusta and worked side-by-side with Legislators, residents, and businesses from across the State, on both sides of the aisle, and on a variety of issues. 
Serving on the Utilities and Energy Committee enabled me to shape laws incentivizing businesses and home owners to weatherize their buildings, support community renewable power generation, and create NEW jobs for Maine workers.
During the legislative term, I worked hard to support direct economic development in Scarborough, namely, by helping to pass a Pine Tree Zone Business Tax Exemption that will finally enable Scarborough and other communities in Cumberland County to attract new or growing businesses to the Greater Portland Area. We lowered the State’s income tax, across the board, to encourage small business owners to reinvest in their business and workforce. And we balanced our State budget, twice, without raising taxes.
It was an honor to serve you in the Maine House of Representatives and I look forward to continuing to fight for Scarborough in new and different ways.
Yours Truly,
Sean
