Brewer Quoted in MPBN Report on Poliquin’s Re-Election Campaign
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Maine Public Broadcasting Network report about Republican Congressman Bruce Poliquin kicking off his re-election campaign. Poliquin, who has been in office a little more than three months, will report raising $700,000 for his campaign to the Federal Elections Commission this week, according to his chief political strategist. Brewer said Poliquin’s fundraising is impressive, but he’s not surprised given Poliquin’s background and connections in the world of finance, the report states. “I think it gives our first indication that this is going to be an incredibly expensive race for the 2nd congressional seat here in Maine,” Brewer said. “It will break whatever records we have.”
