Election Results & Civic Health

Ballot box on table with "Vote" on it with man's hands checking off a box on a simplified ballot

We discuss the results of the historic election — how Trump won, what it means going forward, other elections results, and how Election Day went in Maine.

We'll also talk about a report on how Maine scores in terms of civic understanding and engagement —and why it matters.

Panelists:
Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State
Ron Schmidt, professor of political science, University of Southern Maine

3rd segment of the show:
Quixada Moore-Vissing, director, Public Engagement Partners
Deborah Ellwood, president & CEO, Maine Community Foundation

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
