Together they have raised a combined family of twelve children; seven daughters, five sons, and thirteen grandchildren. One of Miriam’s favorite sweatshirt reads: "I wasn't born in Maine....but I got here as fast as I could." Miriam loves living in Maine.
Miriam has served for many years in her church as well as women's, youth, young adult and children's organizations at the local and state level. She has taught provident living and emergency preparedness classes for 13 years.
Her “official” involvement in politics came during the last election cycle, when she was part of the Romney Campaign in Maine, and was disappointed when Romney left the race. Subsequently, Miriam looked around the state for conservative Republican candidates running for office. In Miriam’s words: “I was again disappointed...until I found Dean's website. That changed everything.”
Miriam has operated her own business for over twenty years. She sees her greatest accomplishment thus far in life as having been an honor to her parents by living her life according to the strong conservative values they instilled. These values have provided the foundation for Miriam’s success and happiness as a wife, mother, neighbor and citizen.
