Unaffordable energy costs. 32 new taxes. Plummeting education scores. Skyrocketing property taxes. The list goes on. Go vote November 3rd.

Happy Sunday! “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

New White House proclamation: Imports of wind turbines and their parts threaten U.S. national security. Why? Because wind is intermittent and unreliable—it burdens the grid, forces constant fossil-fuel backups to keep the lights on, raises costs, and pulls resources away from power that actually works. Add in cybersecurity holes in foreign gear and radar interference, and it’s a problem for both the grid and national defense. Nowhere is this clearer than in Maine, where the state is pushing a massive wind buildout across 50,000 acres in Aroostook County plus billions in new transmission lines—only to deliver a winter capacity factor around 10%. That’s not an energy plan; it’s a political agenda. The order itself notes the contrast with nuclear’s steady, reliable output. Resources wasted propping up weather-dependent turbines would be far better spent on firm power that actually keeps the lights on. The proclamation directs negotiations with trading partners over the next 180 days. If those talks fail to address the threats, further action can follow.

Ever heard “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”? Same rule applies to healthcare. Ask Canada—a family of four pays ~$21k/year in taxes for it, then waits 6+ months for a specialist. Maine Democrats selling “free” care just want your votes. The math ain’t mathing.

Do these projects run on sunlight—or subsidies? Ownership stakes in 19 Maine solar projects are headed to a foreclosure auction. And while some developers face financial trouble, Mainers are still being forced to help fund this industry through electric bills they can barely afford, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year going forward. How did we get here? Maine expanded Net Energy Billing to encourage solar development, with a goal of 750 megawatts. By June 2025, the Public Advocate said we had built more than 1,600 megawatts—over twice the goal. But exceeding the goal didn’t end the subsidies. Mainers kept paying. Then came LD 1777, which made modest reforms that the Public Advocate said would reduce payments to large community solar projects by approximately 20%. Democrats celebrating that relief reminds me of someone beating you seven days a week, cutting it back to six, and expecting a thank-you. Extremely benevolent, right? Don’t let them convince you they solved the problem. This is a Band-Aid on a bullet wound—and an election-year talking point doesn’t change that. Trimming a program whose annual costs run into the hundreds of millions of dollars does not make the remaining burden affordable. Now, ownership stakes in these projects are headed to auction. The foreclosure notice doesn’t establish that LD 1777 caused this default. But the situation exposes a fundamental weakness in this model: developers build their financial plans around subsidies that Mainers have no choice but to help pay. And frankly, I’m not convinced Democrats would have touched those subsidies if skyrocketing electric bills hadn’t become a political liability. When families demanded relief, they trimmed the burden and expected applause for leaving most of it intact. Why should Mainers be forced to subsidize an industry whose financial survival depends on keeping their electric bills higher? We’re told solar is the cheapest energy. We’ve already exceeded the buildout goal. Yet somehow, asking struggling families to pay less is treated as a threat to the industry. If putting ratepayers first puts your business model in jeopardy, ratepayers aren’t the problem. Your business model is. This proves what we knew to be true all along: this was never about a business plan or what is best for the ratepayer, this was always about enriching special interests and advancing a radical political agenda.

Honored to be endorsed by Run GenZ! 🇺🇸 As Maine’s youngest female legislator, I know you don’t have to wait your turn to stand up for what matters. You need conviction, courage, and a willingness to do the work. Our generation will inherit the consequences of today’s decisions. We have every reason to help shape them—and I’ll keep fighting for a Maine where we can afford to build our lives, raise our families, and stay. Principles over politics. Always.

This map show the best and worst places to site solar projects. In Maine, solar will always run on subsidies not sunlight. My opposition to grid scale solar has always been practical, not political. If you want rooftop solar and want to pay for it yourself, that is your choice. Just don’t expect your neighbors to pay for it.

I want to thank U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright for his leadership and for joining me on WVOM to talk about the future of energy—and specifically, the need for new nuclear generation. It was an honor to have Secretary Wright recognize my work on this issue and my commitment to bringing affordable, reliable energy to the people of Maine. We both recognize a basic reality: Maine cannot power its future on intermittent renewables alone. We will always need reliable, around-the-clock baseload power. And that isn’t just my opinion. ISO New England has said: “An exclusive reliance on wind, solar, and battery resources would pose significant reliability challenges,” and that “dispatchable resources… will become increasingly critical as intermittent resources become more prevalent.” Maine has a choice: continue down the path of costly mandates and increasing dependence on weather-dependent generation—or get serious about building the reliable energy infrastructure our families and businesses actually need. Nuclear isn’t a wish for the future—it’s an answer for right now. The technology is here, the need is clear, and it’s time for Maine to embrace reliable nuclear power as a cornerstone of our energy future.

⚡️I know it’s dark out — but that’s the point. Peak hours this time of year are between 5–9 pm. Right now at 6:57 pm on October 15th, 2026: ALL of the solar panels in ALL of New England are contributing less than 0.1% of the power to our grid. Or in other words — only about 8 MW compared with current system demand of 13,993 MW. Other contributing resources: 🌬️ Wind: 2.7% (377 MW) 🗑️ Refuse: 2.2% (314 MW) 🪵 Wood: 0.8% (114 MW) ♻️ Landfill Gas: 0.2% (24 MW) 💧 Hydro: 12% 📥 Net Imports: 7% 🔋 Batteries: <1% Meanwhile, natural gas is supplying 59% of the grid and nuclear 15%. This is the challenge with peak-hour reliability: electricity demand does not disappear when solar generation does. The grid still needs enough dependable generation to meet demand every hour of the day. That means energy policy has to prioritize reliability and actual output— not just unrealistic climate agendas and appeasing special interests. Source: ISO-New England

At some point, Mainers have to connect the dots between the policies Maine Democrats pass in Augusta and the consequences our families live with every day. We cannot keep voting for the same policies and expect a different future. Choose wisely November 3rd.

I second every single word of this.

Maine Democrats’ policies are on the ballot — and the damage is clear. They slammed families with 32 new taxes and fees, jacked up electricity costs through their renewable mandates and net-billing schemes, ballooned the state budget, let education scores collapse, and stuck Mainers with high property taxes and a $1.3 billion hole. That’s the affordability record. Vote accordingly.

Blue-state energy policies are the real reason your heating bill is skyrocketing this winter, not overseas conflicts. While global news headlines point to wars in the Middle East, our actual vulnerability comes from decisions made right here at home. Democrat legislators have blocked vital natural gas pipelines, shut down reliable power plants, and starved our infrastructure of new refineries. By refusing to expand domestic supply, these state governments have forced millions of families to bid against global markets for basic winter warmth. It is time to demand sensible American energy solutions. Full story here: foxnews.com/opinion/iran-war…

I refuse to accept that Maine’s best days are behind us. We don’t have to settle for a state where the next generation has to leave to build a life, where seniors struggle to stay in the homes they worked for, or where working families wonder how much more they can possibly absorb. There is nothing wrong with Maine that better leadership, better priorities, and a little common sense can’t begin to fix. I believe this state is worth fighting for — and I believe the people who call it home are worth fighting for. That’s why I ran. That’s why I’m running again. Maine’s decline is a choice. So is changing course. November 3rd, we choose. 🇺🇸

Happy Sunday! “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

Proud to have earned an A+ rating from Gun Owners of Maine. My record is clear: I will always defend the Second Amendment, our Constitution, and the rights of law-abiding Mainers. These rights aren’t bargaining chips, and they aren’t privileges handed down by government. They are freedoms our government is obligated to protect. I’m grateful to Gun Owners of Maine for recognizing my record—and I’ll keep standing strong for Maine gun owners. 🇺🇸

🛑 Healthcare shouldn't cost 77% more just because you cross the state line-and the blame belongs in Augusta, not DC. While Maine Democrats like to blame Washington, it is local policies enacted in Augusta, where they have held legislative control for decades that have driven health insurance premiums up to 77% higher in Maine than in neighboring New Hampshire. Decades of heavy mandates, over-regulation, and restrictive laws passed by the majority in Augusta have added up to nearly $300 more every single month for the average family plan. When state government drives up the baseline cost of care, it's local taxpayers and families who pay the price. It's time to hold the majority party accountable for making healthcare unaffordable.
