AUGUSTA, ME-- Maine Republican Party Chair, Dr. Demi Kouzounas, released the following statement regarding Maine's Second Congressional District Primary:

"Now that the Secretary of State has completed their unneccesary and costly tabulation of a race that has already been decided, we are happy to congratulate Dale Crafts on his win in the Second Congressional District Primary. Dale is an incredibly strong candidate who will fight tirelessly to earn the vote of Mainers and defeat Jared Golden in November" said Maine GOP Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas.

"While Jared Golden campaigned as a 'moderate', he has been nothing but a rubber stamp vote for Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Democrats, earning him the title of most partisan member of the Maine Delegation."

"Over the last two years it has become abundantly clear that Maine's second place Congressman has no interest in representing Maine's Second Congressional District, a +10 Trump district in 2016. Instead, Jared Golden has fought the President at every turn, including voting to wrongfully impeach the President and voting against the historic USMCA trade deal."

"As your next Representative, Dale Crafts will fight to uphold the values of Maine's Second Congressional District and will always work for you, not D.C. Democrats. Our entire party, including Dale's primary opponents, are fully behind his candidacy and look forward to his victory in November."
