AP quotes Brewer in report on Rep. Bruce Poliquin’s campaign finances
The Associated Press spoke with University of Maine political science professor Mark Brewer for an article about Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin continuing to raise campaign funds. Poliquin has raised $450,000 in the past three months, bringing his total for this campaign cycle to more than $1.5 million, according to the article. In Maine’s northern district, Democrats hope to unseat Poliquin in a presidential election year that promises higher turnout than in 2014, when he defeated Democrat Emily Cain, who is seeking a rematch, the article states. “If it ends up with a Poliquin-Cain matchup, we’re going to shatter records for a House race. The sheer amount of money is going to be staggering,” Brewer said. The Washington Times and Portland Press Herald carried the AP report.
