Statement from new Maine House Republican Leader

AUGUSTA – Following his election as leader of the House Republican caucus, Rep. Ken Fredette (R-Newport) said:

“I am humbled by the honor of leading this excellent group of public servants and want to be clear: Maine House Republicans have been and will continue to be vocal advocates for lower taxes, lower healthcare costs, and better education for our kids. If Democrats are willing to finally join us in lowering costs, they will find partners, not adversaries. However – if Democrats continue to propose cost increases, we will fight tooth and nail. That is a promise.”
