Nice surprise from the boys of @WachuHockey as we suit up for State Title today. Sporting the pink ribbon as my mom begins her battle with breast cancer. Win this title today, start that battle tomorrow.

“Paul LePage is a political unicorn.”
That’s what Cygnal Senior Partner & Pollster @ChrisLaneMA told the campaign's general consultant @BrentDC back in September. Three different electorates in our model, same 48% every time. Lane on how LePage won ME-02 in a blue wave year in a brand NEW @realDailyWire op-ed: dailywire.com/news/how-one-c…
1 of 1. Proud to be a part of Team @MainePaulLePage and helping their team pull off what no one else could in 2026.
Check out my Op-ed on how they did it in @realDailyWire.
"Candidates ride the tide or get crushed by it. The anger at Trump moved around and underneath LePage, but he didn’t budge."
@cygnal's @ChrisLaneMA writes in @realDailyWire how Paul LePage was the GOP's political unicorn amid the blue wave.

@ChrisLaneMA was a stellar member of the team. And @cygnal got this right. Data you can trust.
.@MainePaulLePage is an excellent candidate with a proven track record. I’m proud to be a part of this team.
But this tweet literally makes no sense. Susan Collins won this district by more than LePage.
Armchair analysis needs to based in truth to have honest conversations.

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. 🤣

This is the challenge for Republicans. They've leaked more of their Trump 2024 voters than Dems have leaked Harris voters.
And those who didn't vote (or are unsure/embarrassed) in 2024 lean heavily Democratic and add +3 more for the Dems to the generic ballot.
A strategic GOTV campaign by the GOP tomorrow is the difference between a blue trickle and a blue wave.
Shockingly wrong.
SHOCK POLL: Democrat Cinde Warmington TIES incumbent Republican Kelly Ayotte in UNH poll of N.H. Governor race. #NHPolitics
. @QuinnipiacPoll Must be nice to drop a poll with no age, no education, no ideology, no voter file match, and a likely voter screen nobody gets to see. Live calls only. Party weighted to your own old polls? Public polls never fail in their ability to find new ways to be awful.
A Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday showed that 58% of likely voters back incumbent Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont, while 38% back Republican challenger Ryan Fazio.

Everyone is having a tough time navigating this election cycle. I’m going to share what I’ve been telling clients privately:
Run on the proposal to make it punishable by death for workers to use the phrase “it’s just going to ask you a quick question”. Automatic six point bump.
Benefits of so much traffic?
We can’t go fast enough for fatalities. #LetsBeGreatMassachusetts
Massachusetts has been ranked the second SAFEST state in America for 2026, according to WalletHub.
1 Vermont
2 Massachusetts
3 Maine
4 New Hampshire
5 Connecticut
Massachusetts also has the lowest traffic fatality rate in America and the 4th-fewest murders per capita.

Former gubernatorial opponents both agree on one thing: our state government works better when there’s real competition in elections.

You pay higher taxes than ever under Ned Lamont. He’s raised taxes on your food, your paychecks, your online purchases and more. Yet thanks to the governor, Data Centers pay nothing at your expense.
It sounds crazy, but it’s true. Lamont waived all property and sales taxes for data centers while raising your taxes by billions over eight years.
As governor, I’ll cut taxes by $2500 per year for middle class families and help fund it by ending special interest carve outs like Lamont’s data center subsidy.
It’s time to make Connecticut affordable.
.@UNHSurveyCenter I’m begging you. Stop putting out polls. Each one is worse than the previous.
I’m fully prepared for @UNHSurveyCenter to try to sneak a “Keleven” in one of their crosstabs.

My 40 day out mid term election free advice. I would suggest that if you have the resources to poll your race, and you haven’t- you should. Don’t rely on the past results, and don’t take things for granted.
If the Socialist independent candidate gets 9% - I’ll join the local Massachusetts Socialist chapter.
@UNHSurveyCenter - PLEASE. Stop.
It’s so wrong. Irresponsibly incorrect.
Giving @UMassPoll a run for their money.
