Bangor Daily News - We chaired the Maine Republican Party. We endorse Kamala Harris for president.
Robert A.G. Monks, Ken Cole and Ted O’Meara are former chairs of the Maine Republican Party.
As former chairs of the Maine Republican Party, we enthusiastically endorse Kamala Harris for president of the United States.
We led our party at a time when candidates of both parties were not only civil and believed in the rule of law, but, we believe, had the best interests of the state and entire nation foremost in their hearts, even when we disagreed on policies. We see these same positive characteristics are on full display in Vice President Harris and her candidacy. Sadly, they are completely lacking in her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
Never can we recall a candidate from either major political party whose sole mission seems to be to divide our nation, divide our communities and, often, divide families and friendships. Whether it is race, religion, gender, ethnicity or country of origin, Trump continues to pit us against each other in his frightening, cynical quest to get elected again.
In contrast, we have seen in Harris a collaborative and capable leader committed to bringing people together, and we believe her when she says that she is committed to being a president for all Americans, regardless of political party.
