Lowering the Cost of Living
Maine families are being squeezed by rising costs on every front — groceries, fuel, housing, and taxes. Guy knows this struggle personally as a small business owner who manages material costs, labor, and overhead every single day.
As a general contractor, Guy sees the real cost of inflation and government overreach in his business and in the homes he works on across the district. He will fight to cut unnecessary state spending, oppose new taxes on working families, and push back against Augusta mandates that drive up the cost of doing business. Keeping money in the pockets of Poland residents — not in the state budget — is a top priority.

Supporting Small Business & Tradespeople
Maine's trades and small businesses are the backbone of communities like Poland, and they are drowning in regulations, licensing burdens, and compliance costs that big corporations can absorb but local contractors cannot.
Guy has lived this reality. He will work to streamline permitting, reduce regulatory red tape, and oppose legislation that makes it harder to hire, build, or grow a small business in Maine. He understands that when a local contractor thrives, the whole community benefits — from the families who get their homes fixed to the suppliers and employees who depend on that work.

Property Rights & Land Use
Maine landowners and property owners are facing increasing pressure from state-level overreach on zoning, land use, and environmental regulations that threaten their ability to use and improve their own property.
Guy believes that if you own land in Maine, you should have the right to use it responsibly without excessive government interference. He will stand up for rural property owners in District 98 against Augusta bureaucrats who have never set foot in Poland and don't understand the realities of rural Maine life. Protecting private property rights is non-negotiable.

Veterans & Military Families
As an Army veteran, Guy Lebida has a personal commitment to ensuring that Maine's veterans receive the support, benefits, and respect they have earned through their service.
Too many Maine veterans struggle to access healthcare, mental health resources, and economic opportunities after leaving the military. Guy will be an advocate in Augusta for veteran-friendly policies, streamlined access to state services for vets, and recognition of military training and experience in professional licensing. He knows what service costs — and he will make sure Maine honors that cost.

Public Safety & Second Amendment Rights
Guy is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and believes law-abiding Mainers have the right to protect themselves, their families, and their property without government interference.
Maine has a proud tradition of responsible gun ownership tied deeply to hunting, recreation, and self-reliance. Guy will oppose any legislation in Augusta that infringes on those rights. He also supports funding and respecting local law enforcement, and opposes policies that tie the hands of police officers working to keep District 98 communities safe.

Fiscal Responsibility in Augusta
Maine's state government has grown too large, spends too much, and asks too little accountability from itself while demanding more and more from taxpayers. Guy will go to Augusta to change that.
With a background running a contracting business — managing budgets, bids, and bottom lines — Guy brings real-world financial discipline that Augusta sorely needs. He will scrutinize every spending bill, oppose bloated budgets, and fight for a state government that lives within its means just like every family in Poland has to. Fiscal responsibility is not a talking point for Guy — it is how he runs his business and his life.
