Shenna Bellows is in the news as a Democratic candidate for Maine governor, with the primary campaign now in full swing. She has been active in debates and issue forums on health care, housing, school funding, and Wabanaki sovereignty, where she said she would support tribal sovereignty legislation if elected. Recent coverage also includes an endorsement for her campaign and a lawsuit tied to her refusal to turn over Maine voter registration data to the Trump administration. Some commentary has also raised questions about ranked-choice voting alliances in the race, though no nomination result has been reported.
