Forbes quotes Brewer in report on U.S. Senate nominee
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Forbes article about Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Zak Ringelstein. In Maine, Ringelstein is running against independent incumbent Angus King, elected in 2013, and 30-year-old Republican nominee Eric Brakey, according to the report. Maine political experts think it’s a long shot that Ringelstein will beat King, the article states. “The chances of [Ringelstein] winning are pretty slim,” Brewer said. “Running against a very popular incumbent United States senator is a very hard thing to do, and Angus King is a very popular incumbent United States senator.”
