My Apologies

I know that it has a great deal of time since I have made any post for my campaign. I am currently working with the Somerset Republican committee on a number of projects that have taken up a lot of time. Add to that, I have changed jobs from being a OTR Truck driver to working at the local paper mill shuttling trailers.  I still want to be your Senator for the great state of Maine, but in order to become that, I do need a lot of help. I will be making a short video for my social media accounts soon, asking everyone to help and donate a small amount every week to my campaign. It won't be a lot, but once it all adds up, it will show the party that I can be a very strong candidate for the seat. 

Demi Kouzounas is the sole Republican candidate this year, and I stand behind her campaign. But, in 2026, I want to be the sole Republican candidate to replace Susan Collins. It is time for a strong conservative voice to be heard ion DC, and I do believe that my voice can carry the values of the people of Maine further that what has done in recent years. 

I should be making more entries on this platform as time permits. We all have very busy lives, but we all need to step up and take control of our government back from those that seek to destroy it from within.

Update

Greetings fellow Conservatives,

     Today is March 20th, 2022 and I do apologize for not keeping up with my site. Things have been rather busy for my everyday life, especially with what the current administration has been doing lately.  The rising prices for fuel, food, electricity and other needed items is getting out of hand and blaming world events on those transgressions is weak at its best.

    I have been elected to be the Chairman of the local Republican Committee and I will carry that seat with honor. With this new responsibility, I will more than likely have even less time for this site, so if anyone would be interested in assisting me in my campaign for 2024 and helping me keeping this site up to date with what is happening, I would be very appreciative. 

     Somerset County Republicans had the annual Lincoln Day Dinner last Saturday. It was my first dinner to attend and found to be extremely enjoyable and informative. Gov. LePage attended, as well as Bruce Poliquin and several other local candidates. Each gave resounding speeches and were well received.  

     As I write this, it is very apparent that Sem. King has turned his back to the citizens of Maine and America. He has consistently voted for the failed policies of the Liberal Democrats and still insists that he an Independent Senator. If you vote to increase the cost of living for the average American citizen and at the same time, vote to keep or reduce Social Security payments and the monthly payments to disabled veterans, you are anything but an Independent member of Congress.

Meetings

Hello Everyone,

 

I am currently looking into having some meet and greet meeting on a small scale right now so that people of the State can get to know me. Since I am a grassroots candidate, I won't be able to rent a venue for these meetings, so instead, I am curious to see if anyone would be able to host a small gathering in their homes or maybe know of a small restaurant who would be willing to host me sometime in the future. 

I know that I am doing this at a very early date, but I need the time to get my name recognition up there. Sen. King has had several years of that, but I feel that his questionable policy support and votes should work against him if there was another who name was equally recognizable.

Please email me with any suggestions or questions.

Update for the new year....

Well....

So many things have been happening and it is hard to keep up with it all...

It seems that voter fraud is running rampant in the United States and that has me worried beyond belief. I am a political nobody, but I want to serve the people of my country, state and community. I do not see any republican winning any office in the near future unless they cow-tow to the liberal left ideology and that is something that I cannot do. 

Running for any office, even in a level playing field is a very difficult endeavor and it requires resources and people... lots of people, and considering that I am on the outside of any political circle... I would need double the help compared to any normal candidate.

I am also reconsidering switching back to Republican. I feel that the party has lost its focus and perspective on the average American voter. They are only concerned with deep pocket donors.

I am going to need a lot of input to make sure that continuing with this idea will actually be worth it in the end....

Update to the campaign...

 

 

To everyone that is currently following me, this to let everyone know that I did not make the required number of signatures needed to get on the November ballot for US Senate.

Now this is by no means an admission of failure, but instead a call to rally my support. I intended to carry on the fight and prepare myself for 2024. I want to challenge Angus King and turn this seat from Blue to Red. I will be doing that as a Republican.

I want to thank everyone who signed my petition to date.

I will ask anyone and everyone to please donate to my campaign over the next four years. In order to effectively challenge Sen. King, I will need a lot of help. I need to get my name as easily recognized as Sen. King's.

If anyone wants to volunteer to help me prepare over the next couple of years, I promise that it won't take much time right now, but as 2024 get closer, then the campaign will need more time and energy.

Any help that anyone can give to return some sense of responsibility will be greatly appreciated.
