Why I’m Running for Governor

I’m the son of a third-generation logger and a second-generation lunch lady. When I look around Maine today, it has become totally unaffordable for working people like the family I grew up in. After six years of one-party control in Augusta, we have out of control spending, higher taxes, unaffordable housing, failing schools and an addiction crisis. We need to restore hope and opportunity to Maine, and as an engineer, entrepreneur, and political outsider, I’ll bring the fresh-thinking and new perspective we need to change direction and give regular people the fighting chance they deserve.

Meet Owen McCarthy

Owen McCarthy’s story is one of hard work, opportunity, and commitment to the people of Maine. Raised in Patten, a town of just over a thousand people, he grew up watching his father, a third-generation logger, leave for work at 2 a.m. and still make time for his family. His mother, a second-generation lunch lady, taught him the power of community. Their example shaped his belief that leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about showing up, working hard, and helping others succeed.
