Vance says Paul LePage doubled the number of fraud investigators in Maine while cracking down on welfare abuse.
“We saw that Paul LePage crackdown on the epidemic of welfare fraud and abuse happening in cities like Lewiston. He doubled the number of investigators he had in the state going after fraud.”
Vance cites Maine overdose deaths down 20 percent in 2025 and another 17 percent in 2026 after border closure.
“Last year in 2025, did you know that overdoses in the state of Maine were down by twenty percent? And already in 2026, they're down by another seventeen percent.”
