Public Service Experience
Maureen brings public service experience, gained from four years working for the Indiana House of Representatives. 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.
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.
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 to begin working for you on day one.

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, and later, as a delegate for Hoosier Girls State for the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Indiana, where 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.
