Free State Project taps Maine state senator as its next leader

By Josh Rogers

The New Hampshire Free State Project has a new executive director. Eric Brakey, a 35-year-old Republican state Senator from Maine, will lead the libertarian group that aims to attract out-of-staters to the Granite State and “turn the tide against big government.”

Brakey brings a long — and in many ways more conventional — political resume to his new job leading the Free State Project, which has often portrayed itself as a renegade force in New Hampshire politics.

An Ohio native, he directed Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign in Maine, before becoming a politician himself, winning election to the state Senate there in 2014, and mounting failed bids for U.S. Senate in 2018 and Congress in 2020.

After a stint in Texas working for Young Americans for Freedom, a political organization dedicated to getting liberty-minded candidates elected to state legislatures, Brakey returned to Maine, where in 2022 he again won election to the Maine Senate.

He seemed ok when I lived in Maine. Still I don't think the free state project will ever work. They are outnumbered by the massholes moving north.

Yeah unfortunately there are almost no states where this is possible anymore. NH was the ideal choice but as you have pointed out... Massholes.

So the next best place was out west but the Commiefornians are leaving their shithole in droves and diffusing themselves among the red western states. It's still better in places like ND, SD, WY, ID, MT but they are all changing for the worse.

God, I hope that turns out to be true.

Sometimes the best commie fighters are ex-commies. They've seen the fail.

You ought to make like Georgia O'Keefe and venture across the Hudson now and then.

Can't confirm or deny. Open frequency.

At this point you probably are better off moving to Florida than NH. I did mostly for the weather, but the lack of liberal nonsense is a big plus.

Because land that doesn't border the Atlantic is invalid.
