About Rep. MacDonald

Representative Bruce MacDonald is serving his second term in the Maine House of Representatives. He continues to serve on the Marine Resources Committee and Business, Research and Economic Development Committee. These committee assignments are a good fit for a legislator who represents the islands of Arrowsic, Georgetown, Southport and Westport Island and the mainland coastal communities of Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor.

Representative MacDonald was a school principal for 20 years and worked as a computer program and software development manager. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College and earned his masters’ degree from Harvard University.

His commitment to public service includes three terms as a member of the school committee and board of selectman in Reading, Massachusetts. In Boothbay, he was a selectman for one term.

Representative MacDonald’s interests include health insurance reform; energy conservation and development of alternative energy sources; tax reform; and development of the community college system and affordable higher education opportunities.

He has recently served on both the Presiding Officers’ Heat and Energy Emergency Task Force and the Wind Power Task Force and will continue to work towards energy independence for Maine and innovative, long-term efforts to create energy security for Mainers.

Issues

Serving on Marine Resources will give me the opportunity to better represent the concerns of my district of four islands and a peninsula, all with historical and present-day working connections to the ocean.  

Our committee work will be essential to ensuring a viable and sustainable yield of fish, lobster and other organisms from the ocean. We will work toward a balance that will be good for our marine environment, good for our local maritime economy, and good for the economy of the state of Maine.
