Former State Senate President Rick Bennett represented
Mainers for decades as a Republican, but in June he announced he’s
leaving the GOP and running for Governor as an Independent:
“I’m running as an independent because Maine’s next chapter
can’t be dictated by party bosses in Washington or by the special
interests pouring dark money into our elections. Too many politicians
today are more focused on partisan point-scoring than problem-solving.
The system thrives on conflict, not resolution, and the issues that
matter most – housing, our economy, our schools – get lost in the
noise.”
Is this an anomaly, a trend, or who knows? What does it mean
for the independent reform movement when successful politicians like
Bennett declare their independence from the binary status quo?
On Tuesday November 18th at 3pm ET Open
Primaries President John Opdycke will sit down with Bennett for a
conversation where he’ll ask the simple but big question: Can Two
Party Politics Meet the Needs of the People?
