Vice President Vance Stands With Hardworking Mainers

Rapid Response

This morning, Maine patriots were excited to welcome Vice President JD Vance to Brewer, Maine where he highlighted the huge accomplishments the Trump administration is delivering for hardworking Mainers.




Here are the highlights:


  • Vice President JD Vance: "We’ve created in just 18 months 29,000 new manufacturing jobs and we've reversed years of wage decline…now finally we are seeing wages up 4.2%...”
  • Vice President JD Vance: “Previous generations of Washington leadership would reward people who sent factory jobs overseas. We are rewarding factories and manufacturers right here in Brewer, Maine.”
  • Vice President JD Vance: "Matt Dunlap…has turned your state into one of the fraud capitals of the United States of America…maybe you should be saying to Matt Dunlap ‘You’re fired.’"
  • Vice President JD Vance: “Paul LePage has been the biggest advocate in state or federal government anywhere in the state of Maine at protecting your tax dollars and protecting these programs.”
  • Paul LePage slammed far-Left Democrat Matt Dunlap: "Maine was embracing radical policies like sanctuary cities, boys in girls' bathrooms...I know the difference between a woman and a man."
  • Paul LePage stands with hardworking Mainers: “The working man is the backbone of America...We should be making things here in places like rural Maine, not in China."

While Democrats want to defund our police, defund our military, and let fraud run rampant, President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Republicans will continue to help businesses boom, crackdown on fraud, and keep our communities safe.
