| Jason,
When a 45-year law enforcement veteran, Republican, hunter, and gun owner says it's time to strengthen Maine's gun laws — people listen.
That's exactly what Ted Short, a former U.S. Marshal for the District of Maine, is doing. After decades serving our state in law enforcement, he's urging Mainers to vote Yes on Question 2 this November.
Here's why: |
| "Question 2 will help keep our communities safer by adding another tool for both families and law enforcement. Why wouldn't we want another tool? Why wouldn't we continue to find ways to make our communities and our jobs safer?"
— Ted Short, retired law enforcement officer, hunter, and gun owner |
| Maine's current "yellow flag" law was an important first step, but it failed to prevent the Lewiston tragedy — even after multiple warnings from the shooter's family. Question 2 fixes that, allowing families or law enforcement to go directly to a judge when someone is in crisis, and if the court finds the person dangerous, then they can temporarily restrict access to firearms.
This is about prevention, not politics. It's about saving lives while respecting responsible gun ownership.
Ted is one of many lifelong gun owners and public safety professionals standing up for Yes on 2 — because they know it's the right thing to do.
With Election Day less than one week away, we need your help to make sure every voter hears this message. Will you chip in $25 today to help us share it with communities across Maine? |
| Together, we can protect our communities, give families the tools to act before tragedy strikes, and pass life-saving reform this November.
