Chuck Ellis interviews Peter Violette, Republican primary candidate for Maine Senate District 26. Peter, a Windham resident with deep Aroostook County roots and seven grandchildren, explains why he’s running.
Peter brings 20 years as a third-generation logger, a master’s in social work and experience as a mental health therapist working with foster kids and DHHS, and 14-plus years running an in-home senior care agency. They discuss affordability and energy costs, auditing programs and cleaning up MaineCare fraud, and helping seniors age in place as nursing homes close.
