Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Eves fired a campaign staff
member Thursday following allegations that the staffer has a history
of sexually harassing women.

Campaign spokeswoman Jodi Quintero said Brandon Maheu, who was
brought on to help manage the campaign on Monday, was fired Thursday
morning.

Maheu said in a written statement Friday, which he also posted on
Facebook, that Eves “did the right thing” and that he is “truly ashamed” for his actions. He said has been receiving treatment for
the past six months “to change myself and my life.”

“I have failed myself, my colleagues and my loved ones,” wrote
Maheu, who declined an interview with the BDN.

Quintero said Eves learned of the allegations when a woman contacted
him Wednesday night and severed the relationship with Maheu and his
firm, Everywhere Strategies, on Thursday morning.
