Two candidates for governor are complaining about the governor… who is a Democrat. I suppose ‘this time’ will be different? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you, Representative Katrina Smith. Ranked-choice voting is a scheme that introduces unnecesary complexity into our elections, and waters down our choices. One voter, one vote. I'd be glad to co-sponsor.

Don't count out Shenna Bellows, Amazon™ hasn't delivered her ballots! 😉

Great news! U.S. House of Representatives passed the budget reconcilliation bill, fully-funding DHS for three years, ending the Democrats' immigration enforcement shutdown. 🇺🇸

Republicans' $70 billion Secure America Act cleared the House, funding ICE and Border Patrol through 2029 despite unanimous Democratic opposition.

Ben Midgley had a great interview on specifying his plan to get Maine back on track. "Investment goes where investment is welcome." Ben knows the problems, and will implement the solutions.

It's Maine Primary Election Tuesday! I invite you to be part of making the decisions that get Maine back on the right track.
YOUR vote makes a difference: in 2024's election, the majority party in the Maine House of Representatives could have changed with only 60 votes statewide. One House race was decided by ONE vote.

You don't need to be party-enrolled. If you're not you can choose either primary ballot. Thanks!

In today's Primary Election we choose who can 'right the ship.'

Years of control by liberal Democrats, liberal with your money and liberally applying bad policy, put Maine in trouble and foundering. Today is the first of two elections to determine who will lead the corrective action to 'right the ship' and get us back on course.

We don't need the loudest or flashiest candidate, or even the angriest. We need the smartest and most experienced Chief Executive to execute a plan, a strategy for succcess. I know that candidate, that Chief Executive, is Ben Midgley. I ask you give him a look before you vote. Thank you.

The primary polls are open! Although it's a Democrat-supported scheme to control election outcomes, 'Ranked Choice Voting' is in play in Maine primary elections. Attached is a copy of the same poster that you'll see in the voting booth for familiarization before you head to the polls. Know before you go.

If you choose to use ranked choice voting on your ballot, follow the instructions below.

If you choose not to use ranked choice voting, you may either mark one circle for the candidate of your choice in column 1 and leave the rest blank, OR mark all the circles from left to right for the candidate of your choice.

Either way, your vote is important, and I invite you to vote in today's primary election.

It's Tuesday, June 9th, Primary Election Day! With several choices for who will be on November's ballot for Maine's governor, ask yourself this:

-Am I happy with my electric bill, and do I support paying taxes and fees for somebody else's privately-owned solar project, the least efficient form of energy generation, just to make solar developers rich?

-Do I support the unchecked taxation of every element of my life, of money I earned, and the irresponsible squandering of that money by government?

-Should I have to wait 72 hours to exercise my individual civil right to receive a firearm I bought in a legal exchange, even after an instant background check, with no consideration if I already own one (or several) or not?

-Do I support public policy that chases off business, good jobs, and forces our youth to other states for better opportunities?

-Should Maine should be a 'Sanctuary State' for criminal foreign nationals, with Maine's state government shielding criminal aliens from lawful enforcement?

-Should biological boys compete against girls in sports?

-Should hundreds of millions(!) of dollars of our MaineCare money, our tax dollars, intended for health care be handed out willy-nilly, with no State oversight, to make fraudsters rich?

If the answer to all or even one of these questions is 'No,' go to your polling place and make your choice. Mine is Ben Midgley for Governor : He's an experienced, proven Chief Executive who has the policy answers to these questions to return Maine to a place that respects our money, our freedoms, our prosperity, our communities, and our lives.

Thank you.
-Donny Ardell
