In this episode, Garrett addresses recent attacks from other Republican candidates and clarifies the record.
Garrett details his service as a state legislator and Androscoggin County Commissioner, with a clear through-line: consistent votes to support law enforcement and disciplined fiscal decision-making. Mason explains how government bonds work in plain terms—and why not voting for a $30 million county bond was a deliberate move to avoid locking Mainers into higher taxes.
Public office requires trade offs. Mason outlines why saying no is sometimes the responsible call, and how those decisions protect taxpayers while maintaining public safety.
At the end of the episode, Garrett is joined by Janet Beaudoin who is running for Maine State Representative in Lewiston, for a closing conversation on local leadership, her time on the school board and the path forward.
This episode is about accountability, fiscal restraint, and leadership that owns the consequences.
