2024 ME Senate race: on Civil Rights


David Costello: Protect reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms

We need to enact long overdue legislative and constitutional reforms that will not only aid in strengthening our democracy and government, but also help in better protecting our rights and freedoms, including reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms, and assist in addressing such pressing problems as climate change, escalating gun violence, unaffordable housing and health care, economic inequality, shoddy infrastructure, underperforming schools and insufficient retirement security.

Demi Kouzounas: Wants state party to be a little more inclusive and diverse

Kouzounas said one of her goals is to do "more aggressive messaging" and see the party be "a little more inclusive, a little more diverse."

"I think we have room to grow," she said. "I think a lot of people have branded us as, I hate to say it, an older group of people, maybe more male-oriented, but I'm here to tell you that that's not the case. We have a lot of millennials getting involved. We're looking to have more women involved, and more people of different ethnic diversity."
