“My campaign, “Ashley Webb: Take No Prisoners,” is run the way I’ve run every fight in my life: independently, transparently, and without waiting for permission from people who’ve never had to navigate the systems I have. I serve as both candidate and treasurer of my own committee because I believe accountability starts at home.

Grassroots movements don’t survive on enthusiasm alone – they survive When the people leading them keep listening after the excitement of a launch fades. That’s my commitment: I will keep showing up in Farmington, in Skowhegan, in every town that federal infrastructure investment has bypassed for decades. I will keep pushing for a healthcare system that treats patients as partners in their own care instead of obstacles to a fifteen-minute visit. I will keep the same relentless, detail-driven approach I’ve used for years fighting for my own medical records and accountability, and apply it to fighting for every Mainer the system has failed. ]

As an openly trans and intersex woman, I know what it means to be told to wait, to be quieter, to let someone else speak for you. I won’t do that in this campaign, and I won’t do it in the Senate. No Mainer – rural or urban, Democrat, Republican, or unenrolled – should have to fight this hard just to be heard by the people meant to represent them.

This movement doesn’t end at the convention. It continues every time someone calls my office With a problem and gets a real answer instead of a form letter. That’s the standard I’m setting for this campaign, and it’s the standard I’ll bring to Washington.”
