Statement on Governor LePage's erratic behavior 

8/29/2016

0 Comments

 
These past few days I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the Governor’s latest tirade. Trying to find the right words to describe what I’m feeling. I wish I could say it’s just LePage being LePage. He is just telling it like it is right? Much like what we’ve seen on a national level, this isn’t a joking matter anymore. It’s easy to let our complacency get the best of us because the repetition of controversy has made so many people numb to these headlines. I would know having recently been in a dust up myself with the York County Republican Chair over my personal life and inciting hate to find a new candidate against me.
​

For our state’s top elected official to call a lawmaker (or anyone for that matter) and leave a horrendously profane and threatening message is unfathomable. I can’t repeat what he said since it’s so nasty, but you’ve probably heard the audio clip by now. I’m pretty sure if you or I made the kind of comments the Governor has, we would be out of a job without question in the private sector.

Op-Ed: The way to combat hate is with compassion

By now, most of you have seen the news: York County Republican chair makes disparaging and derogatory remarks in an effort to recruit a candidate to run against me. Calling me “Little Justine” and referencing hate was belittling, personal and unacceptable. It was also astonishingly antiquated in the year 2016.
​

I am a proud legislator who happens to be married to my best friend. That person happens to be a man. To make it more clear: Yes, I’m gay. So what?
