Maine Public

The subject of age has become a hot topic in politics, especially when it comes to candidates and elected officials—including whether there should be age limits. Age is also a significant factor when it comes to how different generations view political issues and what they care about. We’ll examine age and generational divides and how they intersect with government and politics.

Panelists:
Mark Brewer, professor and chair, Department of Political Science, University of Maine
Jess Mauer, executive director, Maine Council on Aging; attorney
Lydia Hart, studying political science and journalism, University of Maine

VIP callers:
