Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Federal Republicans are keenly interested in the district, which voted for Trump in the past three presidential elections (and where LePage won in 2020).
47% : This was fueled by reporting by the New York Times that found that from 2009 to 2015 and from 2018 through the end of 2022, LePage and his wife got property tax exemptions in Florida meant for permanent residents.
