Imagine being so bothered by a young woman’s professional success that you feel compelled to invent a story about how she earned it.
It couldn't possibly be my education, professional experience, or the countless hours I've dedicated to my career. Clearly, the only logical explanation is my father's former occupation.
Brilliant detective work Sherlock! 😉
Oh she got the role because of her dad like you. Here I thought she did it on her own merit. Ha. Her daddy is former DEA so I'm going to be watching very closely. I know you guys use your connections in an unethical way

Paul LePage
A) didn't run from Trump
B) Ran a competent campaign
C) Didn't trash tariffs
Learn from the winners.
Former Republican Gov. Paul LePage is already in Washington D.C. this week, even as Maine's ranked-choice voting process grinds forward in a race his Democratic opponent already conceded.
LePage topped Democrat Matt Dunlap by more than 5,000 votes in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, but fell just short of a majority at 49.894%, triggering the ranked-choice count that kicked off Monday. The mostly rural district, the largest in the eastern U.S., went for Trump in all three of his presidential elections.
If the result holds, it would be the only blue-to-red House flip by Republicans in a non-redistricted seat in the midterms, a rare bright spot for the GOP after Democrats stormed back to grab a large House majority and recaptured the Senate.

The best part about putting a win on the board is always watching the operatives you’ve trained and worked with for months spread their wings and fly.
Watching my girl, @207edg, conquer the world on the hill makes me so proud 🥹❤️
🚨@BrentDC & @lauren_e_lepage are relentless warriors and I will NEVER stop talking about it. In the midst of a horrible election night, no sleep, and running on pure fumes, our team called every rural municipality in CD2 to tabulate results.
We fought like hell for well over a year and a half. Every minute until victory was declared we worked our butts off. Never quitting, never wavering.
To say working with these two was the honor of a lifetime would be a gross understatement. Even in the thick of it, we still had fun.
Proud to be a part of this team, proud to make history together. 🚨 – at Augusta, ME
🚨A bit of professional news. On election night I had the only Congressional seat in America to flip D to R in an original, unchanged House District. Maine's 2nd Congressional District now represented by Republican Paul LePage. This is now the only Republican seat in all of New England, U.S. House or Senate. A great team effort from the candidate, to my media partners, to the national committee, the state Party and especially our extremely hard working and very small campaign team. I have been receiving calls and message from national leaders and elected officials asking - how? Some of those answers are in the people above. I also employed a unique campaign plan and strategy. This is how I have won so many upsets over the years against incredible odds. In this case I had a team and a candidate who allowed me to do so. Cookie cutter doesn't cut it in a tsunami or tough environment. See less

Proud to be Team @MainePaulLePage !! Excited to see all he is able to do for Maine!
Reflecting on a truly remarkable win for @MainePaulLePage in a truly awful climate requires acknowledging some unsung heroes.
Most importantly: every person that volunteered. Campaigns don’t exist without people who engage just for the love of the game.
Everyone on Team LePage. We are a very small but very mighty team. It’s a family affair. I am so proud of us. (@207edg and @BrentDC).
Of course everyone at RNC and NRCC was fantastic. (@misschristinatn, @ChairmanGruters, @kc4gop, @kristencianci, @MaureenOToole4, and so many others).
Everyone at the Maine GOP who put up with my calls, visits and texts (@mainegop, @jsavage207)
And a huge shoutout to @ChrisLaneMA at @cygnal who was exceptional and who I would recommend over and over.
And of course Paul LePage himself!
There are so many individuals who exist that deserve thanks and praise but I don’t have their X handles, so don’t feel excluded. 🤣

Check out the comments. It's all republican Mainers thanking Golden for his service and democrats calling him a traitor. Gee I wonder why he quit?
Four times, the people of Maine’s 2nd District chose me to represent them in Congress. I know what an incredible honor it is to earn their trust. For their faith, I will always be thankful.
I also know a thing or two about winning in tough circumstances. So, I know you have to tip your hat to Paul LePage for winning in the midst of this Blue Tsunami. I stand ready to work with him to ensure the smooth transition that Mainers deserve.
CONGRESSMAN ELECT PAUL LEPAGE.
This was a small but mighty team. But we did the damn thing. And I couldn't be more honored to have worked on this campaign.
When I joined this campaign over a year and a half ago, I made my decision based on the fact that this man is Maine's fiercest protector. Despite the lies, mud thrown, and attacks Paul has never wavered.
He cares about Maine, over EVERYTHING else. This campaign was the honor of a lifetime.

Tough Sunday for Matt Dunlap.
Baldacci calls him a bonehead and says campaigning with Ro Khanna is a slap in the face.
Now a full-on bickering match.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨: Paul LePage Wins Maine Student Mock Election and Defeats Matt Dunlap by 9 POINTS!
LePage earns outright majority in Second Congressional District contest with 52% of the vote to Dunlap's 43%. Paul LePage gives a huge thank you to Maine students and educators who participated!
"I am ecstatic to win the student mock election," said Governor Paul LePage. "My message to Maine kids was simple: life is too expensive and I will work every day to make sure that Maine families can put food on the table and oil in the tank. I had a tough upbringing, and many of them are facing adversity, but it won't break them if they don't let it," continued LePage.

So Paul LePage aided the families directly while the Maine politicians instead used the monies to help fund their pet projects instead of helping the families. I know which group I’m voting for. Thank you for sharing and God Bless your father’s wisdom.
