Campaign website
Russell’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
The Key Issues The What and Why As Americans, we must come together to determine what the existing problems are, and why they exist before we can determine how to solve them. We all know that there are endless ways to solve a problem, and I believe that as Americans -we all generally agree on what outcome we are seeking to achieve. However, there are vastly different ways to get to the solution. Whether we are dealing with the current immigration crisis, inflation, crime, the drug epidemic, or national security – we must discuss the best solutions to solve these problems. Any solution must embrace the free market, ensure the safety and security of American citizens, and put Mainers first.[2] |
