@strim.bsky.social says that the Democrats will nominate either Shenna Bellows or Troy Jackson for Governor in 2026.

Some pundits have also floated Jared Golden as a contender.

Would you support either for Governor??

Maine currently has the 6th highest residential electricity rate in the nation, according to Energy Bot.

Much of that is a result of community solar and net energy billing
