A talk with Chris Lewey Candidate for Maine State Representative

Chris Lewey, a candidate for Maine's House District 82, discussed his campaign, focusing on local issues like housing, food insecurity, and environmental conservation. He highlighted the close 2022 election, won by Caleb Ness by 45 votes, and emphasized the need for a more inclusive and economically-focused approach to politics. Lewey advocated for a progressive tax structure and increased minimum wage, particularly in Portland. He also addressed the impact of Poland Spring's water extraction on local resources and the potential for community action. An upcoming campaign event on January 26 at the old SOCO in Freiburg was announced, featuring various candidates and a talk by actor Gordon Clapp.
