    Raphael Macias, a state representative from Topsham, far left, and his child Peyton Macias, second from left, talk to the handful of protesters gather at the entrance of the road leading up to Topsham Baptist Church during a speaking event featuring former Maine Senate candidate Matthew Brackley on Saturday. Macias said Peyton saw a post about the event on Reddit that morning and they decided to come to protest. “Even if I wasn’t a state representative I’d still be here, and now that I am someone who is in the room with a voice why shouldn’t I see it first hand,” he said.
