I do not believe that anyone standing for any office should run unopposed. Even if it's just a name on a ballot with no campaign, every single office be it school board on up to President of the United States should have a choice for voters.

ActBlue
Beat Les Gibson

"Skinhead lesbian." "Bald-faced liar."

This is what Republican state legislative candidate Les Gibson has to say about Parkland shooting survivors Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg. Gibson's comments are disgraceful, bringing shame on Androscoggin County and the entire state of Maine.

If you want to see Gibson defeated in November, don't wait. Contribute now to the Lewiston Democratic Party. We'll use every dollar to beat Gibson and his hateful allies.

I googled her name earlier looking for donation info, & the Page is crazy with headlines & the story of Gilchrest's choice to run.

It was encouraging to see so many major news outlets headlining with Eryn Gilchrest's mission.

She is an overnight world celeb

I think fascist Gibson's gonna be calling his pals at the NRA for backup funds.

I checked the ActBlue page, and Eryn has nearly $104,000 after just a couple of days, well on her way toward the goal of $250,000.
