The people in the 2nd Congressional District of Maine have the opportunity this year to elect Matt Dunlap to serve our interests in Washington, D.C. I think we should jump at the chance.
It isn’t often that we have the opportunity to elect someone with the depth of experience as a public servant that Dunlap has. Mike Michaud, 2nd District congressman for 12 years, describes Matt as someone of “great character and conviction, who won’t be bought off by lobbyists.” Betsy Sweet, long time progressive activist in Maine, states that Matt’s north star is “what’s good for Maine people.”
As a legislator, our secretary of state and now our state auditor, I believe Matt is all about making Mainers lives better. He grew up in Maine, graduated from the University of Maine in Orono and never left the area, making Old Town his home. People all over Maine know Matt Dunlap. He describes himself as someone who’s “always listening, always available.”
Matt served as co-chair of Sen. Bernie Sander’s Maine campaign for president in 2016 that pushed for Medicare for All, workers rights and an economy that works for all of us. He remains committed to those issues. Dunlap has also promised to work for expanded child tax credits and universal child care.

Matt Dunlap is the “breath of fresh air” that Washington needs. And we deserve someone who genuinely cares about us.
