MPBN Interviews Brewer About Attack Ads in Maine Governor’s Race
The Maine Public Broadcasting Network spoke with University of Maine political scientist Mark Brewer for a report about PACs unveiling attack ads against opposing Maine gubernatorial candidates. “Campaigns use attack ads because they know they work,” Brewer said, adding the ads have a proven track record. “They’re a way to move and influence undecided voters, and even voters who may think they have their minds made up but they’re not fully committed,” he said.
