Brewer Quoted in Press Herald Article on Former ACLU Director Challenging Sen. Susan Collins

The Portland Press Herald spoke with Mark Brewer, an associate professor of political science at the University of Maine, for an article about Shenna Bellows, the former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine, announcing she will challenge U.S. Sen Susan Collins in the 2014 election. Brewer said Bellows is starting out as an underdog and doesn’t have a lot to lose by running. He also said she’s a good choice as a candidate for the Democrats and it’s possible, but not likely, that a more conservative Republican could challenge Collins or Republicans could vote for another candidate.
