Paul LePage Endorses Austin Theriault: Jared Golden "caught a bad case of the D.C. Disease"

I have always put people over politics.

And I'm writing today because I know that Austin Theriault will do the same.

Unfortunately, Jared Golden has proven that he will do the opposite. He has become a Washington DC politician, and he can't stop flip-flopping. He's really caught a bad case of the DC disease.

I'm a straight shooter, and Austin is too. That's why Jared Golden's flip-flops are unacceptable to me. You deserve better.

Unfortunately, too often, Washington DC is gridlocked by partisan politics, leaving everyday Mainers behind.

In my 8 years as Governor, I spent every day making decisions that put people over politics. Some of these decisions were tough and even unpopular. But when you elected me, I promised to do what I thought was best for hardworking Maine families.

Together, we accomplished a lot. We grew Maine's economy, paid our bills on time, and reformed welfare. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for what's happening in Washington, D.C.

I believe in a government that puts people over politics, and Austin will do that. He will listen to Mainers, work to find solutions, deliver results, and leave the political pandering to Jared Golden and the pundits.

Let's build a government that works for everyone, not just the powerful few, by electing Austin Theriault to Congress this fall.

I didn't accept flip-flopping when I was governor, and I don't accept it now.
