Westbrook, MAINE – Maine Democratic Party Chairman Phil Bartlett issued the following statement this evening in response to tonight’s Republican gubernatorial forum at St. Joseph’s College in Standish:
“Rather than offer new ideas on how to improve our state, Shawn Moody, Mary Mayhew, Garrett Mason, and Ken Fredette spent the vast majority of their time pronouncing their love for Paul LePage, pledging to be four more years of his Administration, and bickering over who would do it best.
“But the last thing Maine needs is more of Paul LePage’s divisive politics and failed policies. And while the Republicans work hard to out-LePage one another, Maine’s Democratic candidates for governor are working hard to put forward plans that will expand health care, grow a vibrant economy, create sustainable jobs with good benefits, and repair the damage that LePage and Republicans have done to our state government and our state’s reputation.”
