Indiana Public Service Experience:
Maureen brings public service experience, gained from her four years working for the Indiana House of Representatives. This experience provides her a realistic knowledge and understanding of how our Indiana legislature works - and the challenges ahead. The professional relationships developed are resources for the job of State Representative.
Maureen helped develop a groundbreaking system in the Indiana legislature that increased transparency and allowed easier and more accessible communication between constituents and their elected officials.
Given the imbalance of our state legislature, negotiation ability, delivery and professional experience are necessary to getting the job done on behalf of the citizens of South Bend, and she will begin working for you on day one.

By listening to the concerns of all in the District, she will use her voice, and experience at the state level, to advocate on issues that matter most to you. |
Service, not self:
Maureen's interest in how Indiana government works started at a young age when she was first introduced to our state government serving as a House and Senate Page.
Later, as a delegate for Hoosier Girls State for the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Indiana, she learned about the spirit of civilian service and youth leadership.
Maureen knows our community is an attractive place to live, work, raise a family and retire. That is why she has invested in the area by starting her own small business. She has worked in vineyards and cellars in the Lake Michigan area, including the only vineyard in South Bend. This hands on knowledge has prepared her for a career as a small business owner, working with sustainable grape growers and winemakers in the cool growing region of the Midwest.
