ABOUT MICHELE
Michele is serving her third term in the Maine House of Representatives. A Registered Nurse, her experience as a healthcare professional informs her role as a now three term member of the Joint Standing Committee on Health and Human Services, where she has been the House Chair for two terms. Her committee’s wide ranging focus includes child welfare, domestic violence, poverty and food insecurity, safe drinking water, housing insecurity, substance use disorder, lead testing expansion, nursing home and community based care, aging in place, child care, the healthcare workforce shortage, Medicaid, social safety net programs, and addressing the impact of the social determinants of health on the well being of Mainers across the lifespan.
Eliot residents for nearly 30 years, Michele and husband Jay own and operate a small family farm just off of Eliot’s Route 101, a winding road with a two-century history of farming and related businesses. Organic growers, they raise Nubian dairy goats and are licensed maple syrup producers. Back Fields Farm is proudly under conservation easement and will forever remain farmland and forest.
Representative Meyer and her colleagues in the legislature have worked toward fulfilling the promise of affordable healthcare, reigning in skyrocketing prescription drug costs, lifting up low income Maine families, protecting reproductive rights, advancing common sense gun safety reform, providing property tax relief, & increasing municipal revenue sharing as well as education funding. Michele has been proud to vote for new laws that keep Maine on pace with our changing world: increasing our renewable energy goals with the intention of creating jobs and combatting climate change.
Michele is committed to using her office to improve lives and strengthen Maine families. A proud mother and grandmother, she believes we owe our children and theirs every opportunity for happy, healthy, productive lives here in this uniquely beautiful place we call home.
