New RGA Ad: The Problem

The Republican Governors Association launched its second television advertisement in Maine on the problems caused by Libby Mitchell’s decades in Augusta.  The RGA has also run two ads highlighting Republican candidate Paul LePage’s background and plan to get Augusta and Maine working again.

“During Libby Mitchell’s decades in Augusta, spending, taxes and debt have increased and the state’s lost jobs,” said RGA spokesman Chris Schrimpf.  “Those are problems that a politician like Libby Mitchell can’t fix because after more than 30 years in Augusta, she’s become part of the problem.  Paul LePage will bring a businesslike approach to Augusta’s problems and help create jobs.”

The new ad can be viewed at http://rga.cc/lx6.

A script of the ad is available below.

Common sense tells you, when you have problem, fix it.

And boy does Augusta have big problems.

Libby Mitchell has been there for years. 

Trying to raise the sales tax, twice, by over $200 million and she supported an income tax hike.

Spending is up. Now we’re $9 billion in debt and more than 50,000 Mainers are out of a job.

Libby Mitchell can’t fix the problem, because she helped create it.
