## Resource

Chuck Ellis sits down with Nicolas Hamlin, Republican candidate for Maine House District 49.A veteran from a deeply patriotic military family, Nicolas started a charity softball game in 2013 to honor his father and help homeless veterans. The event has raised over $130,000 for Maine veterans in need, but Nicolas realized the real issue is failed policy — not a lack of money.He discusses fighting fraud and waste in Augusta, lowering taxes and energy costs, creating real housing and job solutions, ending policies that enable addiction, and practical environmental approaches (including concerns about solar development and its impact on bees and fishing grounds).Nicolas is also focused on building local Republican committees and bringing energy and honest representation to a competitive district with no incumbent this cycle.Straight talk from a veteran who wants real results for Maine.Essential listening for anyone who wants to take back our state.Guest: Nicolas Hamlin – Candidate for Maine House District 49 (Arrowsic, Georgetown, Phippsburg, Woolwich, West Bath)
