Chuck Ellis sits down with Adrienne Paul, a mom of four, 20-year childcare center owner, and Republican candidate for Maine House District 85 (Standish and Steep Falls). Adrienne shares her journey from being raised by a single mom on struggling farms to running a center serving 80 children with 22 staff.

They discuss Maine’s childcare affordability crisis and why centers lose money on infants, waste in state childcare grants, health care costs for small businesses, housing and red tape, energy costs, and why Augusta needs more business owners and moms.
