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
