Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
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.”
