Michael Hiltz for Maine State Legislature

A Few Supporters...

"Mike Hiltz recognizes that everyone in Maine needs to have access to quality healthcare and will stand by his commitment to put

Maine’s patients, not insurance industry profits, first in our healthcare system."
-Maureen Caristi, RN, President Maine State Nurses Association/NNOC

"The committee is impressed by your commitment to the well-being of individuals, families and communities."

-NASW - Maine Chapter

“Michael has an impressive record of service to the community as a Marine and now as a nurse. This background of service will benefit Portland as he advocates in Augusta for our city.”

- Portland City Councilor John Anton

"The mission of MPA Campaign Vote! is to promote candidates who share our values — promoting economic, environmental, political and social justice for all Maine people. MPA Campaign Vote! is proud to endorse Michael Hiltz because of his strong commitment to progressive values and demonstrated willingness to be receptive to grassroots leaders."

--Maine People's Alliance Campaign Vote!

"Mike Hiltz is committed to getting Portland its fair share of educational funding from the State. Michael understands every year the City of Portland receives far less funding than other service centers because the State's formula does not consider the cost of living nor the median income of communities." - Portland City Councilor Dave Marshall

"I am proud the MEA decided to endorse my candidacy. Their support gives my views on education funding and consolidation credibility."

- Michael Hiltz, Candidate for Maine State House District 115

"Mike Hiltz can be counted on to vote right on issues of concern to Portland's working families."

-Ed Gorham, President, Maine AFL-CIO

"EqualityMaine and I share ideals, such as all are entitled to discrimination free living. I will tirelessly advocate for these shared views while serving in Augusta."

History. I grew up the oldest son in a hard working blue-collar family in Turner, Maine. I graduated high school in 1994 and joined the United States Marine Corp. After being honorably discharged from the service, I started working as a nurses assistant to help pay for college. At the same time I began to volunteer on Democratic campaigns such as Baldacci for Congress and Brennan for Senate. After a short time of working as a nurses assistant, I realized that I wanted to be a registered nurse. In 2003, I graduated nursing school at the University of Southern Maine. Since graduating from USM's nursing program in 2003, I have worked as an outpatient and inpatient psychiatric nurse with children and adolescents and as an inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation nurse. Today, I continue to care for the seniors, the young, the wealthy and not so wealthy in our community.

Hobbies. I am an amateur web developer. I like to ride my 1973 BMW R75. I volunteer with social service organizations. I love coffee!

Family. I have a wonderful partner, Amanda. We will have our first child in late January 2009.

Why am I running for a seat in Maine's legislature?

I am running for the Maine State House of Representatives to be one of us in Augusta. I have a vast and strong history of experiences from growing up in Maine's rural environment to serving as a registered nurse in our Portland community. My history will prove to be a District 115 asset in the capitol. Portland is sorely needing representation that is outside of the two major parties, yet can take the good ideas of both and put them to work for the people.

I am running on a platform built from the ground up on the ideas that ALL are entitled to quality healthcare, ALL should have access to affordable and quality education, and taxing a people should be fair, balanced and just. Maine can get this important work done in an efficient and strong manner. I am the candidate to advocate for these essential and important ideas in Augusta.

What this campaign needs.

We can take this campaign to Augusta in November with your help. Contact us through this website if you can:

put up a lawn sign
volunteer a few hours from now until November
host a meet n' greet event

The most important thing this campaign needs is for you to tell 1 or 2 neighbors about what we are doing!
