The Portland Press Herald reports that Eliot Cutler has released a list of prominent Republican endorsements — ranging from business owners to office holders – who support his bid for the Blaine House. The announcement comes on the heels of his announcement last week that two well-known Democrats, Senator Dennis Damon and Representative Leila Percy, had endorsed his campaign for Maine governor. Here is an excerpt:
“My campaign has the biggest tent in the race for governor this year, and I welcome the support of these prominent Republicans from around Maine,” Cutler said in a news release. Cutler said he has the support of these Republicans:
• Capt. Bob Peacock, a harbor pilot and president of the Eastport City Council.
• Tim Hussey, CEO of Hussey Seating Co. in North Berwick.
• Andrew Hamilton, a partner in the Eaton Peabody law firm.
• Tom Lizotte, chairman of the Piscataquis County Board of Commissioners.
• Gordon Smith, executive vice president of the Maine Medical Association and a former member of the Republican National Committee.
• Albert Glickman, a lawyer and real estate developer and former chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.
• Jonathan LaBonte, Androscoggin County commissioner and executive director of the Androscoggin Land Trust.
• Al and Mark Bancroft, founders and owners of South Paris-based Bancroft Contracting Corp.
• Karen Brown-Mohr of Portland, a former four-term Republican legislator from Bethel.
• Horace “Hoddy” Hildreth Jr., chairman of Diversified Communications, former Republican state senator and candidate for Congress, and son of the late Gov. Horace Hildreth Sr.
