Shenna Bellows on Principles & Values

	Shenna Bellows on Principles & Values

Calls herself a progressive libertarian

Labeling herself as a progressive libertarian, the crowd seemed intrigued by Bellows' earnest and knowledgeable responses. How her stance on the global concerns will further her candidacy is somewhat of a question. By representing and meeting at the small-town, local level, she hopes that her message will spread. As federal [actions] effect local issues, it is important, she believes, to talk to those being directly effected. Source: Machias Valley News Observer on 2014 Maine Senate race , Dec 4, 2013

Head of Maine ACLU, and community organizer

Shenna Bellows has served as the Executive Director of the Maine Civil Liberties Union since March of 2005. She returned home to Maine, where she grew up, after spending two years as a National Field Organizer at the ACLU Legislative Office in Washington, D.C. In Washington, Shenna was a leader in post-9/11 issues, developing a field program around the Patriot Act, as well as working to defeat several constitutional amendments that would have undermined the criminal justice system, freedom of speech, and LGBT rights.

In 2001 and 2002, Bellows was a Program Associate at Community IMPACT! in Nashville, TN, launching neighborhood-based, youth-centered programming in economically and racially diverse neighborhoods.

We have an opportunity for change in Washington

I am running for United States Senate because I believe we need more courage and honesty in Washington.

Unfortunately, both are in short supply.
But we have an opportunity for change.
To make things better.
To put government back to work for everyone and not just the few.
To get our country back on the right track.
And that work starts here and it starts today.
