Here’s the reality: if Congress doesn’t renew health care subsidies, premiums in Maine will go up 81%. That’s an extra $886 a year for working families who are already stretched thin.

We need more fighters in our party and in our democracy. We need to fight back. No more caving. #ME02 #Dunlap4Congress

Now, Trump is abusing the justice system to get revenge on AG James for beating him in court. It ranks among the top of his abuses of power – right up there with the insurrection.

In the first Trump administration, I sued them and I won. NY Attorney General Tish James and I have that in common.

Our district needs a fighter who will stand up to Trump. And right now Jared Golden is caving to Trump every chance he gets. Maine’s 2nd deserves better than a choice between Jared Golden and Paul LePage, and Matt Dunlap is that choice.

4 million more Americans will lose their health insurance if Congress fails to extend subsidies. In Maine, premiums could rise 81%. Families cannot afford that, not while groceries, gas, and housing are already out of control.

Congress is letting health care premiums skyrocket while Trump plays political games. Jared Golden caved to Trump instead of fighting for us.

I’m running for Congress because Maine families deserve someone who will stand up and never back down.

In every office Matt has ever held he’s met with constituents regularly to take questions and talk through the tough decisions he’s had to make.

We need Representatives who will stand up to Trump and fight for what is right. But beyond that, Jared Golden refuses to hold town halls and rarely meets with constituents. Put bluntly: we deserve better.

Jared Golden said he was “OK with” Trump winning and predicted everything would be fine. He was wrong.
