Brewer speaks to PPH about Maine Republican Party
Mark Brewer, professor of political science at the University of Maine, spoke to the Portland Press Herald about Maine Republican Party Chairwoman Demi Kouzounas seeking a fourth term as leader of the state party after bruising election losses this November. Brewer said that it would be unusual for Kouzounas to be elected to a fourth term, especially after another disappointing election cycle. Brewer also said the party itself seems unsettled about which direction to go, pointing to the first vote on the $473 million heating and energy assistance bill Dec. 7, which was overwhelmingly supported by House Republicans but blocked by Senate Republicans. Yahoo News, the Sun Journal and CentralMaine.com shared the PPH report.
