Our race for U.S. Senate is much larger than Sen. Susan Collins and Troy Jackson. I urge undecided voters to consider the significance of a continued Republican majority:
- Unprovoked war.
- Allegiance to foreign leaders of communist regimes at the expense of democratic allies.
- Unchecked spending on monuments rather than on American citizens.
- More federally appointed judges and unqualified cabinet members.
- Lack of trust in our elections and judicial systems.
It’s time to focus on governance rather than destruction.
