AP quotes Brewer in report on Rand Paul’s Freeport campaign stop
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in an Associated Press article about Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul’s recent campaign stop in Freeport. The rally and fundraiser were held at a restaurant where Paul’s father, Ron Paul, drew a large crowd in January 2012 before his strong showing in Maine’s presidential caucuses, according to the article. Brewer said it made sense for Paul to come to Maine to generate some enthusiasm needed to avoid “sliding into irrelevance.” “He’s making a visit to the state where his father did very, very well. He’s going to try to recreate some of that magic on his own,” he said. Sun Journal, Concord Monitor and The Sacramento Bee carried the AP report.
