Raegan is fighting for…

  • Businesses & Farmers

    As the owner of two local businesses, Raegan understands firsthand that small businesses, including farmers, are the backbone of Maine’s economy. She believes we need to grow our local businesses, minimize barriers that keep them from thriving, and protect our farmlands.

  • Childcare & Working Families

    Whether it's the challenge of affording childcare or managing grocery bills, many families are experiencing tough times. Raegan is committed to crafting policies aimed at reducing the financial burden on working families and increasing access to affordable childcare.

  • Quality Healthcare

    Healthcare is a right, and no Mainer should go bankrupt trying to pay their medical bills. Raegan was proud to support efforts to create the insulin safety-net program, improve drug price transparency, and fund preventative dental care. As a State Senator, Raegan will continue to fight to ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare.

  • Affordable Housing

    Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. Raegan is fighting to build more affordable housing so that all Mainers – including young people, new families, veterans, people with disabilities, and people in recovery from substance use disorder – can afford a decent place to live.

  • State Workers

    Central Maine is home to thousands of state workers and retirees who have dedicated their lives to serving Mainers. Many of them are doing so for less than their private sector counterparts and others worry that their retirement might get taken away. As a Maine State Senator, Raegan will fight to ensure state workers are getting paid what they deserve and protect their retirement.

  • The Environment

    Maine’s natural resources are vital for our outdoor recreation and tourist economy. As a State Representative, Raegan has supported efforts to increase our land conservation efforts, fight the effects of climate change, and support good-paying, green-energy jobs.

  • LGBTQIA+ & Women’s Rights

    Raegan is dedicated to LGBTQIA+ and women's rights, aiming to create an inclusive society free from discrimination. Through legislative action and community engagement, Raegan works to empower marginalized groups and promote equality for all.

  • Veterans & Older Mainers

    Raegan is an advocate tor initiatives aimed at providing comprehensive support services, healthcare, and resources tailored to the unique needs of veterans and older individuals, ensuring they receive the respect and care they deserve.

Notes From Our Neighbors

  • LaRochelle has proven leadership skills

    With her background in economic development and her years of leadership in central Maine government, she knows what it takes to work in elected office and will utilize that experience as an effective and dedicated state senator in our District 15. I hope that my neighbors in Mount Vernon, Belgrade, China, Vassalboro, Augusta, and Sidney join me in voting for Raegan LaRochelle.

    -Hannah Faulkner, Mount Vernon

  • LaRochelle gets results for her constituents

    Rep. Raegan LaRochelle has served in the Legislature for two terms. In that time, she has sponsored and co-sponsored legislation to promote affordable housing, protect reproductive rights, fund quality education, and support recovery work across the state. Her focus on improving the quality of life for Mainers is clear in her legislative record — we will be well served by sending her to represent District 15 in the state senate.

    -Selectperson Jeanne Marquis, South China

  • LaRochelle brings diverse groups together

    As a gay millennial, I support candidates who bring diverse groups together and create strong, unified communities. When I met Raegan, I met someone — an elected official, no less — who shares this vision. With this vision, we can work together on the common, shared challenges that affect us all. Join me in voting for her this November.

    -Sam Baker, Augusta

  • LaRochelle understands needs of Maine’s capital city

    As the capital city, Augusta has unique needs. It takes someone who truly knows and understands the issues of a state capital to represent our community well at a state level. Rep. Raegan LaRochelle is that person and she will have my vote this November for Senate District 15, which includes Augusta, Belgrade, China, Mount Vernon, Sidney and Vassalboro. Please join me and vote Raegan LaRochelle for Senate District 15!

    -Councilor Robert Eric Austin, Augusta

  • LaRochelle listens and learns from her constituents

    This past legislative year there was a bill pending to license construction companies. Raegan took it upon herself to call me to talk about my thoughts on the bill. She listened, learned, and took that knowledge back to the state Legislature to inform her policymaking. Her commitment to reach out and discuss the bill demonstrates her genuine concern for the well-being of businesses like mine, which is exactly what our state needs in the Senate.

    -Ryan Gary, Augusta

  • LaRochelle a great fit for state senator

    Rep. LaRochelle has extensive professional experience, with her background in economic development and her years of leadership in government. She served on Augusta’s City Council and is finishing her third year as a state representative. I hope my neighbors in China, Mount Vernon, Vassalboro, Augusta, Belgrade, and Sidney join me in voting for Raegan LaRochelle!

    -Rita Pello, Augusta School Board Member

  • LaRochelle has the character to lead Senate District 15

    Many politicians speak only to their base in order to insulate themselves against this critique. Rep. LaRochelle, however, stays true to the deep respect and genuine concern she has for her constituents. She does not shy away from difficult conversations or surround herself with only admirers.

    Being able to value someone through disagreement is an increasingly rare quality; we are well served by electing leaders who possess it.

    -Stephanie Sienkiewicz, Augusta City Councilor

  • LaRochelle leads with integrity, compassion and intelligence

    Over the years I have had the pleasure of knowing Raegan and her family. I am impressed with her intellect, her humane approach to public office and her devotion to service. Doing all of that while raising two boys and owning a business is no small feat.

    I am truly excited by her candidacy for the Maine Senate. She is an antidote to the political blahs!

    -Betsy Pohl, Augusta

  • LaRochelle will focus on affordable housing

    Raegan understands that affordable housing is fundamental to a healthy, thriving community. Her efforts focus on creating inclusive housing solutions that cater to the diverse needs of our residents. By prioritizing affordable housing development, Raegan is working to alleviate the housing crisis and provide stability for those who need it most.

    Her commitment to this cause makes her the best choice for Senate District 15. Please join me in voting for Raegan LaRochelle this November.
