Kevin Miller

But he's been pretty forthcoming about it, this and other dark times from his past.

He says, look, you know, I was in the Marines.

I did a lot of things that I'm not proud of now.

I made statements that I'm not proud of now.

But I've grown.

I've changed.

And that seems to be appealing to a lot of voters.

He's been very upfront about these past, whether it's controversial statements that he made in online messaging boards, some of which were viewed as racist.

He's very upfront about it when he's asked about it by the press or in these town halls he's doing.

He says, yeah, look, I made mistakes.

I went through some really dark times with PTSD and depression after I came back.

But I worked through that and now I'm a different person.

So it seems like that is kind of resonating with people at a time when maybe they don't want the clear and polished establishment, you know, veteran politicians.

And as far as you said, he seems to be doing pretty well.

Obviously, you know, we can't judge everything by how much money people are raising.

But he raised significantly more money than Governor Mills in the last quarter of the year when all these controversies were going on.

Kevin, is there any polling about who does better against Susan Collins?

There are a couple polls out there, but the challenge is there's not many.

And I guess we're all kind of skeptical about what they say at this point.

There are a few polls that show him edging out Susan Collins narrowly.
