Update: This episode was updated to include an interview with District Attorney Maeghan Maloney.

In this special episode of the Beacon podcast, Taryn Hallweaver interviews all four Democratic candidates running for Attorney General in Maine. This important position will be selected by members of the legislature later this week. Maine is the only state that uses this relatively under-the-radar process to choose an AG.

Listen to Sen. Mike Carpenter, Sen. Mark Dion, Rep. Aaron Frey, and Tim Shannon describe their positions on the opioid crisis, criminal justice reform and more. If you have a favorite candidate by the end of the podcast, be sure to call your newly-elected state senator and state representative and let them know.

You can ask a question or leave a comment for a future show at (207) 619-3182.
