I agree wholeheartedly with Steve Collins’ recent column, “Maine should reward Matt Dunlap for his courage.”
Only Dunlap had the guts to challenge Rep. Jared Golden when it became clear that Golden wasn’t meeting with constituents and was clearly no longer voting and speaking like a Democrat. In fact, another contender in the race, Joe Baldacci, endorsed Golden. Remember the July 2024 headline: Jared Golden says Donald Trump will win, “and I’m OK with that”?
Baldacci endorsed Golden’s re-election despite Golden’s being “OK” with Trump winning. That tells me everything I need to know about Joe.
With all that is happening —and not happening — in Congress, we need to send someone to Washington D.C. who has guts. Join me in voting for Matt Dunlap for U.S. Congress in the June 9 primary. Let’s send a real Democrat to D.C.
