In April 2011, Sherman and other Republican state senators wrote an open letter to Republican Governor [[Paul LePage]], saying "by demeaning others, the governor also discourages people from taking part in debating the issues of the day — worrying if not only their ideas, but they themselves as people, will be the subject of scorn". The letter came after a number of statements and actions by the governor which made national attention, including the removal of a federally funded labor mural from the Department of Labor and telling the [[National Association for the Advancement of Colored People|Maine NAACP]] to kiss his [[buttocks|butt]] after criticism over not attending the traditional [[Martin Luther King, Jr. Day]] breakfast.<ref>[http://bangordailynews.com/2011/04/01/politics/senate-republicans-blast-lepage-comments-actions-in-op-ed/ Maine Senate Republicans criticize LePage’s comments, actions in upcoming OpEd] ''[[Bangor Daily News]]'', April 1, 2011</ref>
