When I think about this coming election, I want to vote for someone who has leadership skills, compassion for voters and taxpayers, and insight into a national economy that is dominated by people who don’t care how their decisions affect everyday families and workers. I want to vote for someone who is not only unlike the president, but someone who will resist the president’s worst policies and attitudes. I want someone who will work for us, not downsize, fleece, or deport us.
Matt Dunlap lives in Old Town, not in a Florida mansion. He is our state auditor, a great way to get to know the reality of Maine’s economy and our needs. He has been a union member, has a wife and daughter, and has been a leader for both the Maine Sportsman Alliance and his church. Family wealth didn’t catapult him into business or into a pattern of unlimited greed like a politician we know.
Go to Matt’s website and look at who has endorsed him; Steven Miller, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. aren’t among them.
