John,

A quick update - this past weekend a group of Republican leaders from
around the state sat down at our office in Augusta to work on bringing
the best candidates we can find to the ballot in 2020 and

**bring the destructive agenda of Janet Mills and Democrats to a stop in
2020.**

Speaker Sara Gideon is running for U.S. Senate but still in charge of
the Maine House -

**she has a history of questionable ethics as Speaker**, was recently

**fined for**

**violating ethics laws** and

**faces additional charges before the FEC**.

Last week a story broke showing that Senate President Troy Jackson had
been personally paid $20-$25k by the parent organization of a union
seeking a dispute with Bath Iron Works. While Sen. Jackson was still on
their payroll, he sent BIW a letter threatening to reconsider a tax
credit unless they did what the group paying him wanted. He used his
official government position to advance the cause of an organization
that was paying him.

You know who signed that letter with Troy Jackson? Shady Sara Gideon.

**Shady Sara and Tricky Troy, at it again.** It's not like this is the
first time. Shady Sara Gideon appointed a Representative to chair the
legislature's Taxation Committee who literally had just been paid by a
special interest committee to support a tax increase.

But back to our plans and our meeting. Our meeting in Augusta was
amazing for a several reasons - here are a couple:

1)  The incredible unity and sense of purpose every single member of
our team has in restoring sanity to Maine state government.

2)  The reports of the superb candidates coming out to run for House
and Senate as Republicans.

As part of our work, we need to help the Maine House and Senate
Republicans right now. Their recruitment can only pay off if supporters
around the state help them support those candidates.

We have created a joint fundraising form where your donation can be
divided among the House, Senate and Maine GOP as we work, day and night,
to take Maine back from the extreme left.

Tricky Troy and Shady Sara will march into the future

**thinking they can keep getting away with this type of unethical
behavior if they don't lose elections because of it.**

We have strong candidates. We have a united front of leaders around the
state. We have a plan to stop Janet Mills in her tracks and win back
seats across the state.

**No more** gas and heating oil tax increases.

**No more** ridiculous job-killing regulations.

**No more** welfare for illegal immigrants.

**No more** ridiculous bans on anything they can dream up.

**No more** taxpayer funded abortions and special interest spending
while our elderly and disabled are left on waiting lists.

We have a plan to win.

**Do we have you?**

If you want to help the Maine House Republicans, Maine Senate
Republicans and Maine GOP as we work to recruit, train and run strong
candidates to defeat the Democrats, please go here and chip in whatever
amount you can. Your donation will be divided evenly and go toward the
most important efforts we all have going.

We're doing really well right now, but need to keep the momentum
going. You can help by donating here, whatever you can, right now.

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely,
Dr. Demi Kouzounas

Chair
Maine GOP
