Brewer speaks at UMA election forum, media report
Kennebec Journal and WLBZ (Channel 2) covered the “Elections 2016 — Significance for Maine’s People” forum at the University of Maine at Augusta. Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, and Sandy Maisel, a government professor at Colby College and former Congressional candidate, spoke to more than 100 people at the event about the implications of the presidential election for Maine. Brewer said he always implores his students to read both major party platforms before coming to a conclusion on who to vote for on Election Day, the KJ reported. “It tells you what the party stands for and what they’ll do if their candidate wins on Election Day and assumes governmental power,” he said.
