A Maine Senate debate took place on Thursday night, with one of the candidates, Ashley Webb, highlighting being a songwriter as a qualification for Senate. Webb, who is a pro-life advocate and a supporter of traditional families, stated, ‘I ran for office several times, didn’t win, but I did run and then, I’m a songwriter and then I write my own books.’ Webb continued, ‘I suppose my transparency, I wouldn’t lie to people and I wouldn’t deceive the people, like, we’re being deceived right now, like we get lied to, smoke and mirrors, like what’s going on with ICE.’

The moment went viral on social media, with many conservatives mocking Webb’s list of qualifications. Conservative commentator Dave Rubin posted, ‘Surely you can’t be serious…’ Other commentators also weighed in, with some questioning Webb’s experience and qualifications.
Webb was one of eight candidates on the debate stage, including Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson. The winner of the Democratic primary will face off against longtime GOP Sen. Susan Collins in the midterm elections.
