Maine's 19th District State Senator Lisa Keim's favorite part of her job is connecting with her constituents - she's passionate about ensuring people are well-represented. She was inspired to run for office by her love of Maine, where her family has lived for generations. 

The biggest thing Keim has learned during her time in office is how much work it takes to create laws and the importance of writing them carefully, paying close attention to detail. One thing her district does better than anywhere else is skiing - the western mountains are a top skiing destination.

In three words, Keim would describe her district as "beautiful, mountainous, and resilient." She would take an out-of-town visitor to drive or hike up a mountain.
