Piscataquis County Dems well represented at the Maine Democratic Convention
Piscataquis County Democrats were well represented at the Maine Democratic Convention at
Thompson’s Point in Portland on May 1st and 2nd. Delegates heard rousing messages from the
candidates for Maine’s Congressional races as well as the Gubernatorial contest and were
treated to an enthusiastic, unifying message from Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. Other
highlights include a review of accomplishments in this year’s Legislative Session presented by
Speaker of the House, Ryan Fecteau, and President of the Senate, Mattie Daughtry. Some of
these legislative accomplishments include increased funding for childcare, free tuition for
community college as well as funding to address the housing crisis.
Voters are encouraged to vote in the primary election on June 9th. Absentee ballots are
available beginning May 11th.
