Background

About Zack Phillips

I proudly served as an active-duty officer in the U.S. Air Force for over 10 years and am now embarking on a new path. I am in the process of earning a Juris Doctor and Master's in Public Policy from the University of New Hampshire. I hope to turn these degrees into a career in public service - starting with work in the legal field before transitioning to public office. My goal is to earn a seat in the U.S. Senate, representing my home state of Maine. While going to school, I am continuing my military service as an officer in the Air Force Reserves. Recently, I co-founded Veterans Legal Justice, a non-profit organization that is helping veterans find pro-bono legal help in the state of New Hampshire. I am also in the process of obtaining a Certificate of Business in Craft Brewing from the University of Vermont. At my side throughout all of this is my amazing wife Ashley, my son Steven, and our ever entertaining and lovable dog Zoey. My legal and academic interests include the U.S. constitution, policy making, sports law, environmental and energy law, tax law, and property law. I am involved in the Outdoors Club (vice president), Phi Alpha Delta Society (marshal), Veterans Law Society (president), Environmental Law Society, Federalist Society, and American Constitution Society. When I have free time, the hobbies I enjoy are hiking, biking, woodworking, reading, rooting for my favorite sports teams (Patriots, Bruins, Red Sox, Notre Dame football), and exploring the world around me with my friends and family.
