Rahming
Candidate for Marathon
I am Lisa Rahming, Progressive Liberal Party’s candidate for Marathon, and I remain committed to strengthening our community through practical action and meaningful investment in people.
My focus has always been on creating opportunities for young people, improving neighborhood infrastructure, and expanding access to housing and economic opportunity for families. By working closely with residents, community partners, and local organizations, I continue to advocate for initiatives that improve daily life and build stronger, safer neighborhoods. For me, progress means ensuring that every resident has the support, opportunity, and resources needed to move forward with confidence.
