Senator Brakey was recently selected to receive Red Alert Politics' "30 Under 30" Award: http://redalertpolitics.com/2017-30-30-list/
Speaking on the award, Senator Brakey said, "No matter your age --- if you have a vision and are willing to do the work to make that vision a reality --- you are never too young or too old to make a difference.
When I first announced my campaign for Maine State Senate at the age of 24, many said I was too young and should wait my turn. But I looked around at the problems facing our country and decided there wasn't time to wait. It was time to fight back. At the age of 26, I won that first election, defeating a near forty-year incumbent politician.
Since that time, I have been fighting everyday to continue making a difference for our liberties: passing Constitutional Carry, enacting Welfare Reform, defending patients' Right to Try, expanding Cannabis Freedom and standing for principles of limited government at every opportunity.
Today, at the age of 29, I am running for the US Senate. (I will be 30 years old by election day, meeting all Constitutional requirements.) Yet again, some say I am "too young" and I should wait my turn.
Again I see the the enormous problems facing our country:
The gradual erosion of our constitutional rights, from our 4th Amendment privacy rights to our 2nd Amendment right to self-defense
A foreign policy that wastes trillions in taxpayer money bombing and nation-building in far off lands that pose no threat to our national security
Out of control spending in Washington DC that has created a $20 trillion national debt with no plan to ever pay it off
So long as the swamp creatures --- the BIG government politicians and the BIG special interests feeding at the corporate welfare trough --- continue running the show in Washington DC and taking advantage of us Little Guys back home, we are approaching a time of crisis in America.
We don't have time to wait anymore. Now is the time to stand up and speak out. Its time to fight for #LibertyForTheLittleGuy. That's why I am running, and I hope you will stand with me.
For Liberty!
