News and notes
Maine has not seen divides among interest groups on the inflation bill.
— A Friday letter from a coalition led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbying senators to vote against the Inflation Reduction Act included no Maine groups in what was perhaps a nod to the state's Democratic control.
— The Maine State Chamber of Commerce is a conservative-leaning group, but it has worked closely with Gov. Janet Mills alongside other aligned groups on top-tier economic issues before the Legislature over the last three years. Its leader, Dana Connors, led King's transition team when he became governor.
A theme continues in the 2nd District race.
— In Friday's Daily Brief, we noted Poliquin's "not a moderate" criticism of Golden in the swing-district race while Republicans try to link the congressman to more unpopular national Democrats.
— The Maine Republican Party continued this in a Monday email sharing a Breitbart News article about Poliquin's campaign: "Everyone: in a few short months you'll be heading to the voting booth. When you do, remember one thing: a vote for Jared Golden is a vote for Joe Biden." |
