13 Maine Republicans Say They’ve Had It With GOP

The ones upset are right-leaning hardliners.

Leaving were a Maine Republican National Committee member, a former U.S. Senate candidate and six members holding county committee seats.

Libertarian-leaning RNC member Mark Willis of Washington County and the others resigned in a letter Sunday.

The letter was signed by six other Republicans, including former Senate candidate Scott D’Amboise and Sam Canders, who challenged Rick Bennett for state party chairman last month. All 13 said they are withdrawing from the party.

“We can no longer associate ourselves with a political party that goes out of its way to continually restrict our freedoms and liberties as well as reaching deeper and deeper into our wallets,” they wrote in the letter to the state GOP.
