A message from the Hancock Country Democrats (2/4):

Background:  Right now, the balance in the State House in Augusta is 74 Democrats – 72 Republicans – 3 Independents. How on earth did that happen?  This is WAY too close for comfort!  If they gain parity, or heaven forbid take the majority, the Republicans will torpedo all the bills we care about. 

There is a special election in Lewiston coming up February 24.  Democrat Scott Harriman is running for the House.  His campaign needs donations, time, and energy to beat a challenging MAGA-aligned candidate that would hamstring Democratic efforts in Augusta.  (She’s a blonde of the type that Trump obviously likes, and that’s absolutely what the people of Lewiston DON’T need “representing” them in Augusta.)
