Maine Public

This is a special two-hour Maine Calling: Part 1 will feature political leaders discussing what is included in Trump's bill and the process that led to it being signed into law; Part 2 will focus on the economic impacts on Maine residents.

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.
