Brunswick – Today, Bruce Poliquin, Candidate for Maine Governor, released the following statement regarding an online ad attacking Les Otten, one of Poliquin’s opponents in the gubernatorial race:

“In the strongest possible terms, I deplore the online advertisement singling out Les Otten.  There is no place for this kind of attack ad in our race.”

“I have personally spoken with the Les Otten campaign to express my strong disapproval.  I hope the other candidates join me in publicly condemning the ad as a childish and unnecessary attack.”

“Likewise, the person creating and disseminating the ad should realize that they are doing nothing more than breaking campaign finance laws.  This race will be run above board.  There is a time and place to answer questions about our pasts, but this is neither,” concludes Poliquin.
