Carmen’s take on things

📜 What I think

I am running for the US Senate, representing the great State of Maine. A long time businessman and entrepreneur, currently, I am an over-the-road driver for Wal-Mart. I decided to take on this challenge in 2025 because I was very concerned with the state of our country after
the disastrous Biden-Harris years.
From our financial situation to the perceived division of our citizens, to the age of many of the members of Congress, our country faced and still faces many challenges. I have seen our country go through positive as well as negative times, but have come to realize that now it is vital to support in Congress the revival of America pursued by the Trump-Vance administration. 2025 has been an amazing year under President Trump, securing our borders, fighting crime head on, reducing our national debt, decreasing our spending and increasing our industrial growth.
The Golden Era ushered by the Trump-Vance reforms is already creating thousands of new high-paying jobs and revitalizing America. Now it is time to make sure we implement the changes needed after DOGE identified fraud, waste, and abuse in all agencies in the federal government. President Trump surrounded himself with an extraordinarily strong cabinet to work beside him. In 2026, he needs a stronger Congress to work along with him to implement the changes needed to fulfill his reforms and policies. After 30 years in the US Senate, Susan Collins has not been supportive of the Trump-Vance reforms, and I want to help change that. I believe I can be a key part to continue draining the DC Swamp. It is going to be a multi-year process, and I look forward to the challenge and ultimate success of these implementations.

In 2026, we also celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our Nation. When our country began, our Founding Fathers were there to do their duty in Congress. After a few years, they went back home to tend to their farms, ranches, and businesses. They did not consider politics as a career, and I believe after 30 years in DC, Susan Collins has been there long enough. I thank her for her service and I commit to follow in her footsteps, supporting the Trump-Vance administration decisively, speaking for Maine, and serving my fellow citizens for a maximum of two terms, should I be re-elected; then my duty is to help get the next senator elected who believes in the promise that our United States portrays to the American people and around the world—the shining city on the hill and the guiding light to look up to. Vote for me in the 2026 Maine GOP primaries and help bring a new energy and approach to Washington, DC.
Thanks wholeheartedly.
