Huge turnout in Bangor last night. It’s clear people are ready for a campaign focused on working families and real solutions. Thank you for the support and the momentum β€” let’s keep it going.

I’ve fought to protect our democracy before. As Secretary of State, I took on Trump β€” and won. In Congress, I’ll continue the fight, because too many won’t hold this president in check like I did.

Opinion: I’m running for Congress because Mainers deserve a better future β€œWe cannot count on anyone in Washington to come and rescue us; we have to do it ourselves.”

Working Mainers deserve a Congressperson who fights for them β€” not billionaires or special interests. I wrote about why I’m running, what I’ve learned serving this state, and the future we can build together.

Caving on the shutdown without extending the ACA tax credits was the wrong move. Small-business owners deserve fairness β€” not massive premium hikes. I’m running for Congress to protect these credits and lower costs for Maine families.

For too long, our economy has put billionaires first and working families last. I’m running for Congress to change that. I’ll fight for working-class Mainers every single day.

Doing my best to get this turkey right for the family β€” the toughest crowd I’ll face all year!
Hope everyone gets good food, good company, and a little rest today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Grateful for Maine’s strong communities β€” neighbors looking out for one another, families doing their best, and the people who keep our state going. Wishing everyone a moment of rest and connection today.

Opinion: Matt Dunlap is the kind of Democrat who can win Maine’s 2nd Congressional District β€œDunlap also brings varied experience that undercuts any attempt to paint him as extreme or unprepared.”

DC pundits who haven’t stepped foot in Maine should read this. They might actually learn something about our campaign.

Long before I was in public service, I worked every job I could get β€” bartender, cook, dishwasher, even a fur trapper. I’m running for Congress to fight for working-class Mainers every day. Everyone deserves good jobs, affordable healthcare, and better opportunities.

When he was governor, Paul LePage gutted working-class Mainers and then flew off to his luxury Florida beach home.

Maine is done with politicians who put billionaires before working families.

Paul β€” do Mainers a favor: go home to Florida for good.

Every week, I hear about families struggling with healthcare, rent, and childcare. I’m running for Congress to fight for a people’s agenda: lower healthcare costs, an expanded Child Tax Credit, good-paying jobs, affordable housing and childcare.

Rising costs are squeezing working Mainers harder than ever. Some in Washington cave when the pressure hits, but I won’t. I’ll fight to protect access to affordable health care and make sure families get the support they deserve.

A lot of politicians say they’ll stand up to Trump. Well, I actually did it.

When Trump’s voter-fraud commission tried to operate in secret, I took them to court β€” and won. I’ll always stand up for transparency, for the rule of law, and for our democracy when it’s on the line.

The β€œBig Beautiful Bill” means higher health care bills for Maine families. And Paul LePage embraces it. Mainers are done with Florida-men like Trump and LePage who want to raise our costs.

Washington gave up on the fight again.

The shutdown deal passed without extending ACA tax credits β€” and working families will pay the price.

Maine families deserve leaders who never stop fighting for them.

Another name in the race doesn’t change what this campaign is about.

I’m running to deliver a people’s agenda β€” affordable healthcare, childcare, and living wages for working families.

I'm not running to chase a title - I'm running to fight for Mainers.

Let’s keep building.

How Matt Dunlap Can Win Maine’s 2nd Congressional District Experience, character, and fit position him to beat Paul LePage in 2026

Maine’s 2nd District deserves a leader who will never quit on us.

Paul LePage fought against affordable healthcare, put politics first β€” and when he lost, he left Maine for Florida.

We're ready to Turn the (Le)Page and win a better future for working Mainers.

Here's my shortened statement on the government shutdown "deal" that just passed the Senate. Thousands in Maine will suffer higher health care premiums and the loss of coverage as a result of this.

They can’t.

"They also deserve a candidate who will show up. Someone who will be available. Someone who will listen. And they definitely deserve better than Paul LePage.

That’s why I’m running.”
