Portland resident Brianna Twofoot.  All Democratic and Republican candidates have been invited to participate in this event.  Democrats running for office include:  Patrick McGowan, Elizabeth Mitchell, John Richardson, Steven Rowe and Rosa Scarcelli.  The Republicans running for governor include: Steven Abbott, William Beardsley, Matt Jacobson, Paul LePage, Peter Mills, Les Otten and Bruce Poliquin.  Independents have until June 1 to qualify for the general election and will not be a part of this event:  the League of Young Voters will hold a candidate’s forum for the general election later in the year. 

Special note:  The League of Young Voters will hold a “ReIgnite” meeting from 6 pm to 6:45 pm just prior to the event so young people can have an open discussion about this year’s election.  The forum’s after-party will take place at the Empire Dine and Dance just following the event:  all are invited.
