Matt Dunlap Picks up Support From DCCC to Represent Maine's CD2
The move gives Dunlap fundraising and organizational help as Democrats target a competitive seat that has drawn more than $21 million in spending.
- On Thursday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added State Auditor Matt Dunlap to its 'Red to Blue' program, providing fundraising and organizational resources for his Maine's 2nd Congressional District race.
- Dunlap faces former Republican Governor Paul LePage, who recently touted endorsements from the National Rifle Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce while maintaining a fundraising advantage.
- The Maine Education Association endorsed Dunlap on Thursday at Dufresne Plaza in Lewiston, with President Jesse Hargrove praising his support for a 'well-funded federal education system.'
- Educators spotlighted LePage's record, including 2011 pension changes and past comments calling teachers 'a dime a dozen,' with retired teacher Crystal Ward urging voters to oppose him.
- Election forecasters categorize the contest as 'likely Republican,' though the race has drawn more than $21 million in total spending, with DCCC support aiming to help Dunlap close the gap by November.
