ARepublican lawmaker announced he is retiring from politics due to a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump's victory in a Congressional primary election.
Trump-backed candidate Austin Theriault, a former NASCAR driver and state representative, defeated State Representative Michael Soboleski in the primary for Maine's 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday. He will face off against Democratic Congressman Jared Golden, a top GOP target in the November elections in what could be one of the most competitive House races of the election cycle.
State Representative John Andrews, who was a supporter and campaign manager for Soboleski, wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday he is resigning from his position over Theriault's victory. He represented a district containing the town of Paris and nearby areas.
"I've just resigned my seat in the Maine State House of Representatives. I can't be a part of anything that supports Austin Theriault," Andrews wrote.

Well fk you then Austin... I hope I made that perfectly clear.

psst - check the lolita express flight logs
I hardly knew ye.
Looks like we got us a twofer on this one
That takes being bitter to a whole new level.
Austin took 65% of the vote so Jeff really has no leg to stand on in his complaint. Soboleski was always the underdog in this race.
The First District Congressional race was an upset as Ron Russell who jumped in February beat Andrew Piantidosi who has been running since last fall. He beat him 55 to 45%.
Just go join the BiXiden campaign.
In before the Tombstone “Well, bye” GIF.
Austin Theriault is a straight shooter, a solid conservative. Apparently simply winning the primary is resulting in separating the wheat from the chaff. Golden is a weasel.
It’s a start... Pretty soon the RINOs will be dropping like flies.
Yeah, this is the lamest of the lame.
Another Ken Buck type Republican.
Good riddance.
Leftist liberals, both Republican and Democrat disgust me BEYOND your imagination. So, what should I do about that?
Another closet communist-supporter comes out of the closet...
Good riddance!
