Portland Phoenix Endorses Michael Brennan
June 4th, 2008 Posted in In The News | 1 Comment »
If any candidate in this race is a Portland Phoenix candidate, it’s Michael Brennan. In his time in the Maine Legislature, he has pushed health-care reform, higher-education funding, land conservation, ocean-water quality protection, improved mental-health and substance-abuse services, and affordable housing - and that’s not quite the half of it.
A social-justice true believer, Brennan has spent his professional and legislative career fighting for Mainers in need. He is without close ties in Washington DC, but is instead deeply grounded in Maine. And his experience has given him a glimpse of the broken congressional system, dealing with the feds on his - and Maine’s - terms, fighting against No Child Left Behind requirements that make no sense for us, protecting people forced out of Maine’s discount prescription-drug plan, and opposing the war.
