NRCC TV & radio ads target Emily Cain’s national energy tax support
Emily Cain is too extreme for Maine. She even supports a national energy tax that would raise the cost of gasoline and electricity. The National Republican Congressional Committee is out with new television and radio ads drawing attention to Cain’s support of a costly energy tax.
NRCC Comment: “Emily Cain supports a national energy tax that will cost Mainers more of their hard-earned money and jeopardize 10,000 jobs. Emily Cain is wrong on taxes, wrong for jobs and wrong for Maine.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
