Asked for comment on her Facebook post, [Republican incumbent Amy] Volk said only, “Taking a stand is not about supporting or not supporting the governor’s policies, it’s about identifying inappropriate behavior and rhetoric. The only thing I would add is that I regret speculating about what may be going on with Gov. LePage. (However), I am concerned for his health.” She added, “I wrote my Facebook post because I am concerned about Gov. LePage’s behavior, as well as its impact on our state and our citizens, and my constituents deserve to know that.”

[Democratic challenger Jean-Marie] Caterina released a statement Monday, which said, in part, “Gov. LePage has long utilized unfortunate exploitations of fear and bigotry when addressing issues that are not in line with his narrow world view, choosing to scapegoat those who live in poverty, lambast those who oppose his agenda and threaten those who are not afraid to call him out on his unacceptable behavior. It is long past time for this to stop.”- John C.L. Morgan
