Joshua James Pietrowicz, a 26-year-old lifelong Mainer from the Lewiston area and a former sales consultant, is seeking to represent Maine's 1st Congressional District in the 2026 Republican primary. He is running to counter what he perceives as a decline caused by elites, greed, and corruption, advocating for a "country over party" approach. His platform includes doubling the child tax credit, raising taxes on the ultra-wealthy, and increasing the "no tax on tips" deduction. He supports a strong, secure border with increased legal immigration, states' rights on abortion while personally opposing it, and protecting "God-given rights" from government overreach. Pietrowicz also calls for ending military aid to Ukraine and pursuing "peace through strength" in foreign policy.
