I was the first in this race to call for Kristi Noem to go.

She ran a lawless agency that violated the Constitution and sent masked agents who put Americans at risk β€” two even died.

Good riddance.

We’re full steam ahead to the election. To win, we’re going to need even more people stepping up to spread the word and build this campaign in every corner of the district. If you want to be part of this movement, sign up to volunteer πŸ‘‡

A $200 billion tax cut for Wall Street.

Nothing for working families.

That’s the Republican agenda we’re fighting in 2026. And we’re going to win. #MEPolitics

BIG NEWS: We’re the FIRST campaign to file our petitions. More 1,100+ signatures. 90+ towns across the district. Thank you to all our volunteers!

I'm not in this for a job or a title. I'm in this to help working families. We’re building something and we’re not slowing down.

The powerful won’t be on the front lines. Working families will. No war with Iran. #MEPolitics

Great time at the Can-Am races β€” talked with so many folks and caught some incredible racing.

We’re going to every corner of this district because every corner matters. Every town. Every family. Every vote.

That’s how you build a winning campaign.

Whenever they want to fight an illegal war, they find the money. Whenever we want to fight for working families, we can’t seem to find the cash. I’m sick of it.

No war with Iran.

What a jam-packed caucus weekend. Supporters showed up across ME-02, and I made my way around the district making the case for this campaign.

We’re fighting for the working families who feel left behind every single day. And with your support, we’re going to win.

The best way to keep our troops safe is simple: don’t send them into a stupid war no one wanted in the first place.

Paul LePage is for forever wars. I’m not.

My statement on the strikes against Iran. In short, no one wants a new war. Congress must step in now and stop this.

More from this week’s UNH poll:

We’re the strongest candidate against Paul LePage because we win the voters who decide elections β€” independents.

Independents head-to-head vs. LePage:
πŸ”΅ Dunlap: 68%
πŸ”΅ Baldacci: 62%
πŸ”΅ Wood: 59%

That’s the path to building a winning coalition in November.

This would be a power grab. Plain and simple.

I won’t stand for it, and no one should.

Our democracy is at stake. We need loud, forceful public pushback now.

Matt Dunlap has an amazing range of support! Way early in his race he was endorsed by Mike Michaud, who’s center-left, and now he’s been endorsed by this progressive icon. #mepolitics

Proud to have progressive champion Betsy Sweet’s endorsement. I’m the only candidate who’s taken on powerful interests. When Trump tried to undermine our elections, I sued β€” and won.

This campaign is for working families and our democracy. Let’s win this!

NEW POLL: We’re within 1 point of Paul LePage in the latest poll.

This campaign β€” powered by working people, not corporate PACs β€” can win in November.

If you believe Maine deserves leadership that fights for you, share this and help us build the momentum.

What wins in November? A campaign that names the fight.

Special interests. Billionaires. Corporations buying our politics and driving up costs for working families.

I’ve taken them on before β€” and won.
I’ve defended our democracy before β€” and won.

I washed dishes and was a cook at UMaine. I worked nights at Pat’s Pizza. I’m running to put working families at the center of power in Washington, not lobbyists and insiders. I never forget where I came from β€” and I won’t forget who I’m fighting for. #MEPolitics

Back-to-back town halls β€” and it’s been great hearing directly from people about what’s on their minds. People are ready for leadership that actually fights for them.

This campaign is building the kind of energy that wins in November β€” and delivers for working families. #mepolitics

This campaign is about working people β€” not hiding behind consultants or cozying up to special interests. Thank you to the packed house in Bar Harbor last night. Rooms like that are why this campaign is going to beat Paul LePage. Mainers want a a fighter β€” not a comeback tour.

I’m proud to have the endorsement of State Rep. Holly Eaton. She knows how much our fishing communities mean. I won’t be bought off by lobbyists or special interests. I’m from here β€” and I’ll fight in Congress to protect our fishing heritage and the working families who depend on it.

Some couples do candlelit dinners for Valentine’s Day. Michelle and I knocked doors in House District 94 in Lewiston instead. Nothing says love like canvassing and reminding people to vote! If you’re in HD-94, make sure you get out and vote on or before February 24! 🌹πŸšͺ

Rooms like this one in South Paris fill up when people feel heard.

Working people come first β€” not billionaires, not special interests, not career politicians chasing their next job. I’ll fight for you in Congress and for an economy that finally puts working families first.

Don Lemon was arrested today by federal officers for doing his job: reporting the news.

For years, we were lectured about the need to protect the First Amendment. Now, journalists are being arrested by the very people who styled themselves as its fiercest defenders.

That hypocrisy is staggering.

This is a win for all who protested, but I believe ending the β€œenhanced activities” isn’t enough.

All ICE operations in Maine should cease. Kristi Noem must resign or be impeached. Agents who have committed crimes must be independently investigated. No masks. No warrantless searches or arrests.

FDR was the kind of leader our party needs todayβ€”someone who understood that the system was rigged against the working-class by the economic royalists.

To paraphrase Roosevelt: the billionaires who rig our economy will hate me in Washington. And I’ll welcome their hatred.

Happy birthday FDR.

I ran Maine’s 2020 election and saw attacks on our democracy firsthand.

The FBI raid on Fulton County, Georgia’s elections office should alarm every American. We have to keep pushing back. The 2020 election was settled. Donald Trump lost. #MEPolitics

Packed house at our office opening

This campaign is winning because people keep showing up. It’s not about a career move or a stepping stone β€” it’s about fighting for working families and building an economy that actually puts them first.

My family and I were so deeply saddened by the tragic plane crash at Bangor International Airport. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones affected by this loss. Thank you to the first responders who rushed to scene. Absolutely heartbreaking for our community.

Good. ICE must be accountable for what they do. No regulation, no oversightβ€”no support.

And to be clear, I would have voted no on the House version of the DHS bill for that reason.
