Media report on actor Sean Astin’s visit to UMaine
The Bangor Daily News, WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) reported on actor Sean Astin’s visit to Maine to stump for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. On Tuesday, Astin started his day at the University of Maine, where he toured the campus and encouraged students to fill out voter registration cards and to make sure to vote, according to the BDN. Astin later headed to Bangor to speak to a crowd at a book and toy store and to call Mainers in support of Clinton at the Maine Democratic Party Field Office, the article states. Astin told WABI he enjoys working with young people at colleges around the country. “You show up at a college campus and even when people disagree they’re not practiced at the art of being mean yet, so they speak respectfully to each other and that’s easy to work with, whether they agree with you or not,” he said.
