Ep. 138 Rising Young Conservative: Payton Warren on Faith, Politics, and Standing Strong at UMaine
Published 4 months ago
Description
Host Chuck Ellis talks with Payton Warren, Chair of UMaine College Republicans and Vinalhaven selectman.
From a liberal family to embracing Catholicism and conservative values, Payton explains how faith drives his politics. They discuss pro-life convictions, Maine's economic challenges (housing, population decline, regulations), environmental realism, and the intense campus protests against conservative speakers like Olivia Krolczyk and Laurel Libby amid the post-Charlie Kirk youth movement.
A raw, hopeful conversation on grassroots conservatism, free speech, and building Maine's future. Essential listening for anyone concerned about where our state is headed in 2026.
