Kelly Schulz’s campaign for the Republican nomination for governor is warning its supporters that Democrats may soon be meddling in their primary.
In one letter to supporters, Schulz senior campaign advisor Doug Mayer suggested that the Democratic party has focused advertisements against more moderate players instead of fringe Republicans who would have no chance during a general election in November.
The Democratic Governors Association, also known as the DGA, has spent $12 million in Illinois on attack ads to stop a Black Republican U.S. Army veteran from battling the incumbent in the fall. His competition in Illinois has already touted allegiance to former President Donald Trump.
Maryland could be next on the DGA hit list to make Trump-backed Dan Cox the GOP nominee, warned Schulz’s campaign advisor.
“All of which is to one end goal, which is to defeat Kelly Schulz, so they can end up facing a very fringe Republican in the general election,” Mayer said.
