AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Maine’s Election Shift: Troy Jackson defeated Susan Collins, ending her 30-year Senate career, while Hannah Pingree won the governor’s race. The victories came amid a nationwide Democratic sweep of Congress, with affordability among voters’ top concerns. CD2 Still in Play: Paul LePage declared victory over Matt Dunlap, but Dunlap says ballots remain and the close race is not settled. Activism and Public Safety: Maine’s Gun Safety Coalition celebrated wins for endorsed candidates and supporters of the state’s Red Flag Law. In Bangor, veterans and peace activists marched to Rep. Jared Golden’s office to protest the Iran war and urge him to oppose military action.
