Fresh off a debate with libertarian Dave Smith about whether the Libertarian Party or the Republican Party is the way to go for libertarians interested in politics, former Maine state senator Eric Brakey makes the case the GOP, despite its problems, could be salvageable, while I play occasional devil's advocate.

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, friend of the show Eric Brakey returns to outline why he's looking to reclaim his old state senate seat in Maine, and what issue he's looking to help address for your average voter in main. "I've been knocking a lot of doors, talking with a lot of voters... I am running to reclaim my state senate seat that I held in Maine for I held it for two terms in the past from 14 to 18. And I left, I stepped aside from that to run for US Senate and Congress over two terms. Neither of those races worked out how we hope but we did get the message of freedom out there, which I think inspired a lot of new activists who are making a difference today. But yeah, I am running to reclaim my old state senate seat. It's been great to reconnect with a lot of my former constituents. So hopefully, who will be my constituents once again after this election cycle and boy people are hurting out there. Inflation is is is really hurting people. I mean, it's universal from truckers to soccer moms, I go door to door everyone is talking about the price of gas is concerned about how they're going to afford their next fill-up, and man, we're looking at, you know, gas station just down the road... For me, we're looking at $5.21 a gallon for the lowest grade gas. Boy, it's it's all of the warnings about inflation and the out-of-control spending and the printing of trillions of dollars out of thin air that us libertarians have been warning about for decades. Now. It's all coming to a head. And nobody outside the liberty movement seems to have any idea how to talk about this. And, you know, it puts us in a great position where we are the ones with the answers, because we are the only ones who understand how we got here."

There is no better place to start than at the State Legislatures. Now is the time to get liberty minded Americans in those offices and dismantle the authoritarian power structures used during the pandemic, and permanently outlawing them. Today we’re spotlighting a warrior for liberty who is making a run to return to the state legislature to do exactly that. From his website: For four years, Eric Brakey defended the freedoms and paychecks of Maine people in the state senate. Over two terms (2014-18), serving as a principled and independent voice he pulled together bipartisan coalitions to reform welfare, expand healthcare freedom, and restore constitutional liberties. When he left the Maine Senate, statists took over the state government: (1) treating the hard-earned money of the Maine people like their personal piggy banks; (2) tramping our most basic freedoms with lockdowns and mandates; (3) shredding constitutional limits on state power. Today, inflation is eating our paychecks while politicians hike taxes and sell off our Bill of Rights to the highest bidders. Parents are worried that schools no longer listen and voters are losing faith in our elections. It's no longer enough to play defense. We must restore what has been taken from us — our freedoms, our paychecks, our Constitution. This is the type of American we need serving to protect our liberty and prosperity.
