Ken’s career spans decades of public service — from founding MemoryWorks, a nationally recognized dementia support network, to building Maine Taxpayers United and pioneering legislative reforms. He has hosted radio and television shows, founded civic organizations, and launched businesses with real community impact.
​
With expertise in financial systems, public policy, and grassroots organizing, Ken brings both experience and energy to his campaign. His work has been featured on radio, TV, and in print, and his leadership has shaped key issues from climate and healthcare to veterans’ rights and tax reform.
