27 Sep 2022 Democratic Candidates to Participate in Local Forums
All Democratic candidates for Maine House and Senate districts that include Lincoln County will participate in candidate forums hosted by local news media. Forums will be held between Sept. 29 and Oct. 18 in Boothbay, Damariscotta, Wiscasset and Waldoboro.
Lincoln County News Candidate Forums
The Lincoln County News will host four nonpartisan forums to provide voters information they need to make an informed choice about who should represent them. At each forum, candidates will have two minutes to introduce themselves at the beginning and two minutes for closing statements at the end. In between, they will field questions from the moderator, with each candidate receiving two minutes to respond. Moderators will ask questions submitted in advance by Lincoln County residents. To submit your question, email editor@lcnme.com.
