“Today, Blaine Richardson announced that he is leaving the Republican Party to run as an Independent U.S. Congress candidate in Maine’s 2nd District.
Richardson said the decision to leave the Republican Party came down to two things: Personal conviction and common sense.
“As a retired military veteran I have an obligation to defend and support the United States Constitution no matter what, this decision allows for me to fulfill that obligation,” he explained.”
Interesting. I look forward to following his campaign, I’ve already added him to my sources list on Twitter.
