Cory Raymond

Cory Raymond is a lifelong Mainer who grew up understanding the values of hard work, community, and looking out for your neighbors. Raised in a working-class household, Cory developed a deep appreciation for the challenges facing everyday Maine families — from making ends meet through long winters to navigating a healthcare system that too often leaves people behind. With roots firmly planted in District 41, Cory has spent years building relationships across the community and listening to what residents actually need from their state government. Before deciding to run for the Maine House of Representatives, Cory built a career centered on practical problem-solving and service. Whether working alongside local small business owners, volunteering with community organizations, or advocating for better services in the district, Cory has always believed that real change comes from the ground up. District 41 deserves a representative who shows up — not just at election time, but every single day. Cory is running for the Maine House because too many decisions in Augusta feel disconnected from the realities of life in District 41. As your representative, Cory will prioritize transparency, fiscal responsibility, and policies that strengthen Maine's working families, protect our natural environment, and invest in the next generation. This campaign is about putting people over politics and delivering results that matter.
