A Republican Maine House candidate now has an opponent after he used Twitter to attack two students who survived a shooting at a Florida high school, calling one of them a “skinhead lesbian” and the other a “bald-faced liar.” Democrat Eryn Gilchrist filed to run against Leslie Gibson on Thursday, eliminating his chances of winning the 57th District of Maine uncontested.
The Sun-Journal reports the 28-year-old Gilchrist says she never anticipated that she would run for office, but felt “horrified and embarrassed” at the idea of Gibson representing her in the state Legislature. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/leslie-gibson-republican-candidate-parkland-florida-opponent-eryn-gilchrist/
