Chuck Ellis, joining from Nairobi, Kenya, sits down with Payton Warren, chair of the University of Maine College Republicans and a selectman on Vinalhaven. Payton shares how he grew up in a liberal family and how his Catholic faith shaped him into a conservative.
They talk about being openly conservative on campus, protests against events with speakers like Olivia Krolczyk and Rep. Laurel Libby, Maine’s housing crisis, population decline and overregulation, and the surge of young conservatives after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
