I became an activist in 2008 after being inspired by Dennis Kucinich in the early debates. I was particularly overwhelmed by his outline for a single payer healthcare system. Years earlier I was diagnosed with cancer and made a pledge that if I survived I'd find a way to pay back to society. I decided that advocating for single payer was my way to pay back and therefore co-founded Maine Healthcare Reform. I also went to Sen. Baucus' hearings on Obamacare and was one of the 13 people arrested at the hearings.
After the passage of Obamacare I started The Progressive Agenda and have been advocating for progressive causes ever since.
