Like I said on Friday, if the DOJ wants to sue us, we’ll see them in court.

Secret police have no place in Maine, and I will never stop fighting to keep Mainers safe and free.

The challenges here in Houlton — the closure of the birthing center, the reduction in workforce at a critical moment, and the refusal to engage in a fair contract that supports nurses and safe patient-nurse ratios — is indicative of some…

We take the integrity of the petitions just as seriously as we take the security of voting. It's really important that anyone seeking to place a initiative on the ballot follow the law.

The weight of the evidence brought forward under Maine law in the Section 336 challenge that was brought made it clear that Mr. Trump was aware of the tinder he laid in the multi-month efforts to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020…
