Media interview Brewer on campaign fundraising in governor race
News Center Maine and the Portland Press Herald interviewed Mark Brewer, professor and chair of political science at the University of Maine, on early fundraising efforts ahead of the election for Maine governor in 2026. “What would have been interesting is if one candidate had significantly outraised the others, or if one of them had really struggled to raise money, which was not the case,” Brewer said of the Democrats. “What we’re seeing is that the money kind of bears out that we have four candidates here who are relatively strong and certainly viable, and their fundraising numbers so far support that.”
