Issue Position: Protecting the Second Amendment and School Safety

Issue Position

Matt takes his oath to uphold the Maine Constitution seriously. Section 16 states ""Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned." Maine has a strong tradition of responsible firearm ownership, and Matt has been a steadfast defender of the right to keep and bear arms. In the wake of the tragedies we've seen across the nation, Matt will advocate for more education for gun owners on the safe handling and storage of firearms, rather than advocating for unconstitutional gun control measures. Matt also believes that there is nothing more important than the safety of our children. He will fight to support efforts that place armed school resource officers in our schools, not only to protect our children, but to provide them with valuable mentoring opportunities.
