IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Matt Cheney supports Dr. Shah because of his unique qualifications: heโs an MD, a lawyer, and has extensive experience in government and public service.
But heโs most looking forward to casting his vote for Dr. Shah because heโs honest, thoughtful, and has proven his leadership to Mainers.

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what weโve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the loveย
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;ย
In the end, gorgeously,ย
Endures our enormity.ย
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.
@TheMaineWonk They're going to shut the government down and Hegseth wants to tell them where their loyalties must lie when the shit hits the fan...them there loyalties are not going to be with people or the Constition...
@grahamformaine You condemn the genocide in Gaza but you're mum on the genocide in Ukraine? This Maine Democrat will be voting for the candidate who will stand up for Ukraine and take the gloves off when it comes to Trump and Putin!
