The competing narratives about Question 1’s true objectives and potential impacts are perhaps best epitomized by the names of the groups leading the fight on either side: Voter ID for ME and the Save Maine Absentee Voting Coalition.
There’s a bonafide primary contest among Democrats in the Maine race for the U.S. Senate. And one of the leading contestants, Gov. Janet Mills, isn't even an official candidate yet.
Defeating Susan Collins is Graham Platner’s primary goal, but he and his campaign also signaled that they’re gearing up for a potential fight against power brokers in the Democratic National Committee.
The 2026 gubernatorial election is 16 months away, yet Republican hopeful Bobby Charles has already managed to break through the mostly routine campaign rollouts by the rest of the ever-growing field of candidates.

For anyone following Maine politics
Big fan. Very excited to get local political news that’s not corrupted by financial incentives.
My only complaint is that Maine Public is quite small; if someone is subscribed to MPP then more likely than not, they are subscribed to TDIM as well. Having to listen to the same news on both podcasts really detracts from the impact they have.
I appreciate it’s the only source of local Maine political analysis, hence I tune in. Good balance between statewide analysis and discussion of local/state legislature. That said, Mistler and O’Leary clearly lean right in their election analysis takes. A better setup would have one conservative and one progressive commentator, rather than two conservatives pretending to provide neutral analysis.
the best and most concise source of maine political news.
Glad to have political news to listen to in the morning!
