Brakey is a Ron Paul supporter and state senator. He is running in Maine's 2nd Congressional district which is a 50/50 seat. He has outraised his opponents and looks certain to win the primary.

Eric Brakey (born August 8, 1988) is an American politician who lives in Maine.

Brakey was born in Cleveland, Ohio and attended Ohio University, where he studied theater performance. After college he moved to New York City and worked as a professional actor. A supporter of Congressman Ron Paul, Brakey took a job on his 2012 presidential campaign and moved to Maine. [1]

Brakey was elected to the state Senate for District 20 in 2014; the district includes Auburn, New Gloucester, Poland, Minot, and Mechanic Falls. He was reelected in 2016.[2] Brakey served as chairman of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.[3]

Brakey was Maine State Director for the 2012 Ron Paul presidential campaign; he led Ron Paul's supporters to win a majority of Maine delegate seats to the 2012 Republican National Convention and won key seats on the Maine Republican State Committee and National Committee. After working for Paul's 2012 presidential campaign,[4] Brakey led Defense of Liberty PAC, a libertarian political action committee in Maine.[5]

Brakey was the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in 2018, losing to incumbent Senator Angus King with 35% of the vote in a 3-way race.[6] He is currently running to be the representative for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.

He is endorsed by Rand Paul, Freedomworks and Club 4 Growth.

@Brian4Liberty if this guy wins he deserves his own forum. He is close to perfect.

Good luck to him. Hopefully he can win. And hopefully he learned not to make any goofy dancing campaign ads...
 
Oh look... they're smearing Brakey because he supports Massie:

https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/03/...hot-after-trump-scorches-an-eric-brakey-ally/

In an interview last September he said his own campaign offered “the biggest opportunity for the liberty movements since Thomas Massie got elected to Congress in 2012.”

In that same interview on The Tom Woods Show, Brakey urged voters to “make sure Thomas Massie isn’t so lonely in Washington.”

If he and Matt Gurtler win we would basically double our representation in the House. We'd go from 2 solid reps (Massie + Amash) to 4 solid reps. (Massie + Amash + Gurtler + Brakey)

I know it still seems like a small bloc but if we continue to increase our influence in the GOP maybe one day we call return to the party of truly small government.

It's hard to keep up with multiple candidates. For now our focus needs to be on protecting Thomas Massie.

However this guy and Matt in Georgia are basically how you do it. Start as a state legislature and slowly move up and then win a competitive and open primary and your set.

If they get to Congress then they will get more allies and more importantly campaign cash. Rand/Massie/Amash have shown it can be done.
 
Heads up liberty lovers... the Maine 2nd CD GOP debate is tonight at 8 EST. You can watch the stream on Facebook. You'll need to search for Eric's Facebook page and he is sharing the stream from there. Hope to see yall in the comments.
 
They polled our district for the 1st time in this race. Brakey is last 19%, Bennett second at 25% and Crafts leads with 37%.

This will almost certainly be decided by ranked choice.

I'm surprised, I thought Brakey would have it.

Lots of money being spent on this race, I am getting mailers and targeted ads from all 3.

There is a smear campaign against Brakey with mailers saying he doesn't support Trump, but his online ads say he does. (I don't)

ughh not good.
 
You know, I think the silver lining here is that brakey has outraised the other 2 so I would hope he is able to devote more resources to the undecideds and get a higher percentage of the late-breakers.
