Maine Republicans Announce Their Support for Carly Fiorina

They cite Carly’s knowledge of policy, her life experiences and her ability to lead

AUGUSTA, ME -- Today, six GOP leaders join current Maine Co-Chair Representative Amy Volk and the growing list of supporters across the state to support Carly Fiorina as she runs for president. Former U.S. Representative David Emery and Matt Jacobson will join Volk as co-chairs supporting Carly Fiorina. Susan Dench, Rep. Wayne Parry, Rep. Deb Sanderson, and Rep. Heather Sirocki are happy to announce they will serve as members of Carly Fiorina's leadership team.
 
Carly Co-Chair State Senator Amy Volk:
“I am thrilled to welcome our new Team Carly members in Maine.  Just as people have seen all across the country, we have seen a surge of support for Carly here in Maine and this announcement of our growing leadership team is just more evidence of that.  Maine is Carly Country and I look forward to working with all of our people on the ground here to help share Carly’s vision for our nation.”
 
Newly Announced Co-Chairs:
Former U.S. Rep. David Emery:
"Carly Fiorina has demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge and depth of understanding of critical foreign policy and defense issues that far surpasses that of the other candidates. She is a forceful, confident leader well-equipped to keep America safe while leading the West through many challenges to our shared values. She will restore America's self-confidence and will give the world reason to have faith in American leadership once again." 
 
Matt Jacobson:
“For me the ideal president is someone who knows what it's like to start at the bottom. Someone who has lived life and endured highs and lows. Someone who has achieved on the world stage. Someone who understands the threats we face and the promise of America. Carly is all of that and more.”
 
Newly Announced Leadership Team:
Susan Dench:
“We need to be inspired by courageous leadership, by someone with the conviction of their beliefs who can effect positive change, establish excellence by example, produce results and bring out the best in those they lead. Carly Fiorina is that leader, and that’s why she's earned my support.”
 
Rep. Wayne Parry:
"With Carly as our candidate, we will have someone that we can vote ‘FOR’ not just a vote ‘against’ the other candidate. It is refreshing to have a candidate that is asked questions and she actually answers the question she was asked. I have donated to local candidates before, but never a presidential candidate until now. To me, Carly is worth my hard earned money."
 
Rep. Deb Sanderson:
“We can make America great again – through Carly Fiorina. She has everything – an outsider perspective, a stellar business background, a fresh message, the charm, the wit, the presence – to lead America in the 21st century.”
 
Rep. Heather Sirocki:
“I support Carly for president because she will work hard supporting the resurgence of the republic.”
 
These six GOP leaders are a part of a growing group of Americans nationwide who have been moved to support Carly’s candidacy because of her willingness to challenge the status quo and take on the professional political class.
