Submits Signatures From Every District 2
County
Auburn, Maine – Nearly eight months after announcing his campaign for Congress, Jason Levesque made it official today delivering more than the required number of signatures to the Secretary of States office in Augusta. Levesque submitted 1,114 signatures that came from 124 towns in all 10 counties of District 2—which is the largest geographical district east of the Mississippi. This officially qualifies Jason for the ballot in the June 8th primary.
“This is an exciting step.
I’ve been campaigning around the District for nearly eight months now
and have
truly enjoyed the opportunity to speak to my fellow Mainers. This is
the
next big step toward bringing some fiscal sanity to Congress and
hopefully jobs
home to Maine,” Levesque said. Jason also commented, “Out of the 1100
plus
signatures we turned in, not one of them was rejected…this should
illustrate to
the people of Maine how hard my staff and I will work to ensure accuracy
and
accountability in Washington.”
Today Congressional democrats
cancelled all hearings and activities in order to meet to negotiate the
health
care legislation in time to vote before the arbitrary Presidential
deadline of
March 18.
“Yet again, the debate over health
care has been pushed behind closed doors. Mike Michaud is scheduled to
return
home for Spring District Work Period on March 29th. If he
truly represents the people over the partisanship, he’ll come out from
the
secret negotiation room, and come home and hold a Town Hall before
casting any
vote,” Levesque said.
