John,

Yesterday, in the first meeting of the Maine Ethics Commission to investigate Speaker Sara Gideon’s illegal straw donor scheme, she was found guilty and will be fined for violations of state law.

We have been documenting Sara Gideon’s swampy behavior and colleagues for years. Multiple ethics scandals have been ignored or swept under the rug on Sara Gideon’s watch, but not anymore.

At the same time, Jared Golden apparently decided to join Chellie Pingree and the squad, as he announced his support of the impeachment inquiry.

Let’s be clear, Jared Golden siding with the squad is a problem - we have three great candidates competing to take him on and restore the voices of Mainers in Congress.

The “squad” and Nancy Pelosi don’t speak for us, but that is apparently all we get with Jared Golden.

But while we work across the district to take that seat back for Maine people, we also need to spread the word about Shady Sara Gideon.

Let’s be clear – yesterday’s fine and GUILTY decision by the Maine Ethics Commission wasn’t the end of Sara Gideon’s troubles, it was the beginning.

There is much more to come.

Shady Sara still must deal with her federal straw donor scheme with the Federal Elections Commission.

Shady Sara still must try and explain what are certain to be absolutely extreme left-wing votes in the legislature this coming session.

And she still has a lot more to answer for.

Can you do us a favor today? Can you chip in a few dollars to help us continue this important work?

A donation of $5, $10, $25, $50 or more makes a big difference.

Part of our team is out collecting signatures and working with our amazing team of volunteers, others are working to build up our party statewide, and still more are working to get the word out about Shady Sara’s ethics violations and Jared joining the squad.

We can only keep this level of pressure up with your support.

I was on WVOM early this morning talking about Shady Sara’s straw donor scheme and we will keep spreading the word to hold Sara accountable. Your financial support, in whatever amount you can afford, can help us keep the pressure on while we qualify President Trump for the ballot and hold Jared Golden accountable.

Please go here and chip in whatever you can to strengthen our work. A donation of $5, $10, $25, $50 makes a big difference.

We need to hold Shady Sara accountable, prepare to take Maine’s Second District back from Jared Golden and the "Squad", and make sure President Trump qualifies for Maine’s ballot.

We have our work cut out for us. Your support makes all the difference.

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely,

Jason Savage
Executive Director
Maine GOP
