7-3-2026, Friday. Wow, one more day and America can officially declare that it is 250 years old! Now, isn't that something to celebrate! Absolutley.
As we charge into this 250th 4th of July weekend and it's celebrations, and in some cases protests, take a moment today to reflect on the sacrifices so many before us have made. Today is the 163rd anniversary of the third and final day of the Battle of Gettysburg, where the "High Water Mark" of the Confederacy, Pickett's Charge occured.
It was the day before, July 2, 1863, that the "boys from the 20th Maine" led by Colonel Joshua Chamberlain held the flank of the Union line against repeated charges from the Confederates just below them. In what would later be revealed as a pivotal battle not just at Gettysburg but the entire Civil War, our own Col. Chamberlain led a group of Maine "boys" to save the Union and to establish Freedom for all Americans, and to preserve One Nation. Sad that today this is no longer reognized for what it truly is, but history will bear out the truth.
Above is the painting by Mort Kunstler, renowned Civil War artist of the Charge at Little Round Top. I have this print on the wall in our family room. It's been there for 31 years. I did a college thesis paper on the 20th Maine when I was at St. Joseph's College, and I promised I would never forget these brave young men that gave their young lives for the FREEDOM of others.
Take 5 seconds today, remember them. And give thanks for FREEDOM.
God bless,

6-10-2026, Wednesday. The morning after. Well, the primary is over. Now we wait for the results! It really doesn't need be said, but I suspect we're in for one very interesting campaign season.
Beginning my active campaign today! Over the next 4 1/2 months there will be flurry of activity; door to door, events, mailings, meetings, and what I enjoy the most, simply meeting you.
Ya know, as hard as this is for some to grasp, we are all in this together. We are. Yet, the polarization is real, very real. Only one way to meet that challenge, get out and meet the people. I look forward to the next few months, as I was work as hard as I can to continue to represent the people of Winslow, Albion, Freedom, and Unity Plantation.
Pictured below, gave out my first Campaign Palm Card of the 2026 Campaign Season to the Oldest Resident of Freedom, Pearl Nickless! Pearl is 102 years young, and I am proud to count her as a very dedicated supporter. I am honored. To think that I have a person voting me for me that first was eligible to vote in the 1945 Presidential Election gives me great hope for the future of FREEDOM!
So, let the season begin, and away we go!
See you on the trail!
God Bless,
Paul R. Flynn
