AMY ARATA for Maine House

I’d be honored to bring your voice to Augusta.

General Election November 5th, 2024

“As a Maine native grounded by the work ethic of a farm family, I approach complex issues practically and work with both parties for solutions. With experience as a scientist, business owner, and legislator, I am uniquely qualified for the issues we face. I have worked for lower tax and regulatory burdens while supporting vulnerable Mainers and the educational opportunities a thriving economy requires. I’d appreciate your vote in November."
