Brewer Quoted in Media Reports on Maine Politics
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Kennebec Journal article about Maine’s 2nd Congressional District race, as well as an Associated Press article about the state’s gubernatorial candidates preparing for debates. Brewer told the AP the debates in the state’s governor race have the potential to be significant because there appears to be a relatively large group of “swayable” voters. Portland Press Herald and SFGate carried the AP report. Brewer also spoke with Maine Public Broadcasting Network and Portland Press Herald about how the closing of the Verso Paper mill in Bucksport could potentially affect the outcome of the gubernatorial race. “Anytime something like this happens, those who are in office at least have a greater likelihood of being impacted by that than a challenger who wasn’t in office and didn’t have anything to do with these things,” Brewer said.
