Hey, Maine forum folks, your help for a moment?

[crispini]

I just got a call from a candidate up your way asking for my support. He said he was running for the House of Representatives. I was not familiar with his name, but opened up his website and was having a look at it, and am inclined to kick in some dough, just because, well, it's nice to be asked. However, I closed my browser and have completely forgotten his name. What can I say, I'm developing chronic CRS. I have tried The Google, but nothing is pinging my radar. Can you help me out with names of candidates and maybe your thoughts on them?

Thanks!

1. Well, Tom Allen is the big one running to unseat Senator Susan Collins (R)

We're hoping for a big (and upsetting) win!

2. It could be the US House of Representatives

Here's a list of our Federal candidates:

The only one I would personally not donate to is Tom Ledue. He's running against the best Democratic chance to defeat Susan Collins. I don't know why he's running or where he's getting his finances but it's not from any Democrats I know.

3. Aha. It was Mark Lawrence.

Any specific thoughts on him?

Thanks! :hi:

Edited to add: Isn't Chellie Pingree involved with Common Cause, or am I getting her mixed up with someone else?

4. Chellie was head of Common Cause

I like Mark Lawrence. But I like most of those candidates. I don't live in the first district so I can't vote for any of them. Chellie would be my choice, though.
