Maine GOP's proposed 2022 platform targets LGBTQ, abortion, labor rights

In its proposed 2022 platform, the Maine Republican Party expresses support for policies that would curb access to abortion, restrict the rights of transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity, and undermine collective bargaining in the state, among other stances.

The party’s initial pitch for its platform, which was put forward by the group’s Standing Resolutions Committee at the end of September, will be considered for approval at the 2022 Maine Republican Party Convention in late April. The document is not final, with the Maine GOP including a link on its website for members of the party to submit proposed amendments.

But in its current form, the platform shows the direction the party may be heading in the lead-up to a pivotal 2022 election that will likely feature former Republican Gov. Paul LePage challenging Democratic incumbent Gov. Janet Mills.

“The proposed @mainegop platform is out. Not surprisingly, it’s anti-LGBTQ, anti-worker & anti-abortion,” Andy O’Brien, communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, said on Twitter.

He is the mouth piece of the Republican't party.

A vote for these people is a vote against yourself and your wallet.
