University of Maine political scientist Mark Brewer was interviewed for a primary election assessment in the Portland Press Herald, which evaluated how campaign spending may have influenced voters. Brewer says the results showed that candidates that spent the most money didn’t all benefit.

He also was quoted in an Associated Press article posted on the New England Cable News website about how Democratic U.S. Senate primary election winner Cynthia Dill’s views might play with independents and conservative voters in a statewide race in November. Brewer was interviewed for a third political analysis about Democratic general election candidate positions published by Maine Today Media newspapers, including the Portland Press Herald and Morning Sentinel.
