In this episode of Q-Point, hosts David and Corenna Quirk interview Austin Theriault, Republican candidate for Maine's 2nd Congressional District. The discussion covers Theriault's observations from the campaign trail, highlighting the diverse yet hardworking population in Maine, and addressing widespread concerns over the rising cost of living. Theriault discusses the impact of high energy costs on small businesses, specifically mentioning the struggles faced by the Milo chip plant and the broader forest products industry. The conversation also touches on the consequences of subsidies for wind and solar farms and the high costs of electric vehicle charging in Maine. Theriault outlines his legislative priorities if elected: reducing inflation, revamping energy policies, creating incentives for workforce participation, and addressing immigration system flaws to ensure public safety.
