🎙️ Q-Point Podcast | Maine State Representative Mike Soboleski
“Since Golden Has Bowed Out, Are You Now Considering Challenging Paul LePage?” — Soboleski on a Potential Run for Congress
In this powerful interview, Rep. Mike Soboleski breaks down the shifting dynamics at Maine’s borders, the rise in interior apprehensions, and the increased attention on northern smuggling routes. He shares what he uncovered while examining illegal grow sites across Maine, and the oversight improvements he believes are needed at the federal level. Soboleski also discusses skyrocketing electricity prices, his objections to solar and wind mandates, his call for a DOJ review of Maine’s energy policies under an existing executive order, and the pressure school districts face over Title IX. The episode closes with a frank discussion about Maine’s gubernatorial field — and Soboleski’s own potential move toward Congress.
