Business Leaders Back Scontras for Congress

Growing Number Supporting Political Outsider’s Economic Message

PORTLAND – Candidate for Congress Dean Scontras today released a list of more than 50 prominent Maine and national business leaders who are supporting his bid to win the Republican nomination for the open 1st District seat. “President Reagan was once asked the difference between a big business and a small business,” said Scontras. “His response was that a big business is what a small business would become, if only the government would just get out of the way. I am proud to have such a diverse group of business leaders supporting my campaign message of the need for government to get out of the way of business.”

“Being pro-business is a core Republican principle, and it has been the foundation of this campaign,” continued Scontras. “This list of supporters consists of business leaders from across the state, both large and small businesses, from multiple vertical markets – tech, finance, hospitality, manufacturing – from Maine and across the country. While a typical politician might roll out a list of legislators who support them, or boast of union endorsements, these are people who are part of the economic engine, people I have personally met, people whose support I have earned the old-fashioned way.”
