July MEETING
What’s Next for Maine? Maine Senate Selection Process
With Imke Schessler, DSC Vice Chair
Thursday, July 16, 2026 @ 7:00pm
Unitarian Universalist Church and via Zoom
Our July meeting will be held on Thursday the 16th at 7:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Ellsworth and via Zoom.
In light of recent events, we are changing our previously announced agenda and will dedicate this meeting to a discussion of the Maine Democratic Party’s work to rapidly pull together a convention to nominate a new candidate to challenge U.S. Senator Susan Collins in November. This situation is unprecedented for Maine. We’ll describe how the process came together, how delegates will be chosen this weekend, and provide details about the July 25 convention. And we’ll answer your questions.
We will be joined by Imke Schessler, Democratic State Committee Vice Chair.
The guests we had planned, Dakota Dupuis, candidate for sheriff, and Brian Thomas, candidate for county probate judge, will join us at a future meeting.
Pre-registration required for Zoom attendance by noon the day before the meeting. You will receive a unique link you will need to use to join the meeting.
