Maine Republican Party behind signs linking Gideon to defund police movement – Press Herald

The Democratic Party tried to associate Republican Sen. Susan Collins with a polarizing president with campaign signs that said Trump/Collins.

The Republican Party responded by with its own signs declaring, Vote Sara Gideon/DEFUND THE POLICE!

Jason Savage, executive director of the Maine Republican Party, confirms the GOP paid for the signs. There was clearly no intent to hide it, Savage told NewsCenterMaine. Every time weve been asked, weve said that theyre ours.

Savage said the party wanted to highlight Gideons connections to liberal groups that support defunding police.

Gideon said she doesnt support defunding police.

I just want to be clear, I do not want to defund the police. I do want to make changes that ensure that people of color do not continue to be brutalized or killed, Gideon previously said during a debate.
