ME-02 is one of the toughest seats Democrats hold—and one of the easiest to lose if we get the nominee wrong.

This race won’t be decided by momentum or money.

It will be decided by who can actually survive the district.

Here’s why Joe Baldacci has the clearest path →

17 House Dems voted for Trump's $1+ trillion defense budget in September:

-Cuellar #TX28
-Davis #NC01
-Gillen #NY04
-Golden #ME02
-Gonzalez #TX34
-Gottheimer #NJ05
-Gray #CA13
-Horsford #NV04
-Kaptur #OH09
-Lee #NV03
-Delaney #MD06
-Rivet #MI08
-Mrvan #IN01
-Perez #WA03
-Sykes #OH13
-Vindman #VA07
-Whitesides #CA27

Trump said he will request a $1.5 trillion defense budget for FY27. (Total national security spending is already much higher, blowing past the $1 trillion mark many years ago.)

Do people in #WA03, #TX34, #TX28, #NJ05, #ME02, and #CA13 want federal spending to create jobs?

If so, they can ask their Blue Dog reps if they've read studies that education spending creates 3x more jobs than military spending. Healthcare more than 2x.

The conservative Democrats voted for a trillion-dollar defense budget for Trump's Department of War and defense spending in FY26, despite the Pentagon having never passed a financial audit.

Five Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee recently voted to approve the Trump admin's $150 billion defense budget increase for its "megabill."

AIPAC has been the top donor, by far, to two of them: Blue Dog Rep. Jared Golden of #ME02, and New Dem Rep. Don Davis of #NC01 .
