And now it's become a real problem.
It's really challenging for logging.
It's really challenging for farming, things like that.
People are really feeling the effects of the tariffs across the state.
And we're seeing real challenges with people, tourism, things like that.
that these tariffs are hurting the state big time and something's gotta change.
I mean, it's not working and they can say whatever they want, but these tariffs are not something that's been good for the state and I don't believe they're good for this country.
I mean, you know, when all these ICE raids started happening and people started getting hauled off, I mean, you got to stand up for that and other things go to the back seat.
But I mean, for us, it's always been about economic justice for people.
I started my career blocking the Canadian border, fighting for people in Northern Maine to get better opportunities.
And this campaign is about people getting better healthcare, prescription drug coverage, nursing homes, childcare, housing.
These are the things I've been fighting for.
Economic justice, like I said, I mean, we're gonna take on big pharma.
We're gonna take on the big landowners here in Maine that have been holding back the logging industry.
We're going to provide better child care for people that deserve it.
I mean, there's a lot of things that in my time as the Maine State Senator, I've passed bills that unfortunately have been vetoed by our current governor.
And that's why I'm running for governor.
I'm not having the big lobby veto my bills anymore.
I'm going to become governor so that we can pass bills that actually help Mainers out across the state because working class people deserve somebody in the Blaine House that's actually going to fight for them for a change.
