From foster care to founder, Shawn Packard’s journey is one of perseverance, faith, and service. Having grown up in foster homes across Maine, he experienced firsthand the shortcomings of the state’s youth system - and that experience fuels his commitment to reform it. Today, as a husband, father, and community-minded entrepreneur, Shawn stands as a steadfast advocate for Maine families who too often feel unheard in Augusta.

Through years of grassroots involvement, he has shared the stories of everyday Mainers, supported small businesses, and volunteered his time to strengthen the communities he calls home. His campaign is guided by humility and conviction - centered on restoring common sense, protecting children, and bringing integrity back to public service.

Shawn is dedicated to repairing Maine’s foster system, defending the state’s renewable resources, improving practical education in schools, and confronting the challenges of addiction and homelessness with compassion and accountability. Grounded in biblical principles and a deep love for Maine, he believes that real leadership begins with people - not politics.

“I’m here to protect our kids, our communities, and our Maine values.” - Shawn P.
