@dunlapforcongress.bsky.social when will you have any town halls or public meetings for your candidacy this fall? One of Golden’s biggest problems has been not being available to his constituents.

Lotta reasons to have concerns (!) about Graham Platner notwithstanding his impressive roll out and the impressive way he's built out his campaign so far.
First 12 min of this video we came across allayed some of those for us -- makes a strong case he's up to the task. Worth watching. #MEpolitics

1st town hall for #GrahamPlatner in Ellsworth last night. Biggest turnout I’ve seen in town for any political event. He’s got a great message and better Q&A. Could be just what we need to get Collins out and get some common sense in office. Check him out.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

I just finished J.S. Dewes’ The Divide series (The Last Watch, The Exiled Fleet, The Relentless Legion). A excellent summer sci-fi read with believable characters fighting for redemption, survival and love against tyranny and their own flaws. Check em out at your library or local bookstore.
