Fellow Republican,

We are living in unprecedented times and many changes will be forthcoming but if we all follow the CDC guidelines we can get through this together. Here are some guidelines to share.

Our legislature will be ending their session ‘Sine Die’ tomorrow which is called. We will continue to work on gathering signatures to Repeal Ranked Choice Voting for Presidential elections and we still have 90 days to gather them. Thank goodness we were able to start early due to a method in the law we were able to use because of our smart legal team. More to come!

IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE & GUIDANCE

All members of the Maine Republican Party at the state, county or town level are encouraged to completely read this document for guidance.

Also, please follow President Donald J. Trump’s continued updates and recommendations.

CURRENT EVENTS & MEETINGS

We are advising county and town chairs to please postpone any meetings expected to include 10 people or more.
There is no state committee meeting scheduled until April 31, just before what would have been the start of the 2020 State Convention.

We may need to convene a virtual meeting in advance of that for any required votes on rule changes to keep the party in compliance with state statute regarding the convention. The state committee will be notified of this in advance and vote on any rule changes that may be needed. Watch your email inbox for future updates.

PLEASE FOLLOW ALL CDC RECOMMENDATIONS

Practice social distancing.

Wash your hands frequently; we should all have been doing this but just be more vigilant, more thorough, and more regimented.

Don’t touch your face and hands.

Stay a few feet away from others in public.

Avoid large gatherings or meetings in closed quarters.

If someone in your family has been diagnosed, please self-quarantine for 14 days.

MAINE GOP HEADQUARTERS

We have taken appropriate precautions at our office and with our staff, including social distancing, limiting the number of staff in the office at any one time through our ability to work from home and appropriate disinfecting processes at the office.
We ask that any materials you need to get to us be sent through U.S. Mail in order to limit the number of people in the office at any one time.

"We need to come together as a state. Care for one another.
Be vigilant," Maine GOP Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas.
