🎙️ "You Wanna Fix the State? Show Me You’re Ready." – Poliquin on What It’ll Take to Step In

In his first appearance on Q-Point Podcast, former Congressman Bruce Poliquin joins us for a frank, wide-ranging discussion on the challenges facing Maine — and what it would take for him to run for governor.

Poliquin tackles it all: cartel-driven drug activity in Maine, illegal marijuana grows by Chinese nationals, hospital closures, soaring energy costs, overregulation, immigration enforcement, and the economic pressures squeezing Maine families and small businesses. He argues that while much of the country is correcting course, Maine is "doubling down on crazy."

As talk of a possible gubernatorial run heats up, Poliquin says he’s not interested in politics as usual — and issues a direct challenge to Maine voters:
“You wanna fix the state? Show me you’re ready.”
