Fried interviewed by WLBZ on 2nd District money race
WLBZ (channel 2) talked with Amy Fried, chairwoman of the the University of Maine’s political science department, about escalating spending in the race for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District seat. According to the station, newly released campaign finance reports show that spending by Republican Congressman Bruce Poliquin, Democratic challenger Emily Cain and outside groups has reached $11 million. Fried notes that the 2nd District may be even more competitive this year, due to the tight race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for the district’s one electoral vote.
