Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Maine GOP Lurches Further to the Right as Mike Thibodeau Drops Out of Governor’s Race
Susan Collins Wing of Maine GOP No Longer Represented in Gubernatorial Primary
The Maine Republican gubernatorial primary took another dramatic rightward turn today as Senate President Mike Thibodeau dropped out of the race. Thibodeau comes from the Susan Collins wing of the Maine GOP and was the only Republican in the field willing to speak out against Governor Paul LePage’s extremes. Candidates Shawn Moody, Mary Mayhew, Ken Fredette, and Garrett Mason have been tripping over themselves, trying to out-LePage each other.
“As Maine’s Republican gubernatorial candidates continue to race further and further to the right, Maine Democrats’ odds of winning the state’s governorship continue to climb,” said DGA Press Secretary Melissa Miller. “After two terms of Governor LePage’s extremism and mismanagement, Mainers are ready for a change—a change it’s clear none of the remaining GOP candidates can provide.”
