Haunted by the gentle, royalty-free piano of Maine Senate ads | Victoria Hugo-Vidal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Read all of our coverage of Maine's 2026 election or stay up to date with the latest developments through the Maine Political Report in your inbox or text messages from politics editor Kirby Wilson. I’m someone who’s always liked listening to the radio and having it on in the background. In fact, I’ve managed to resist getting the music app Spotify, which has been ubiquitous among millennials and Gen-Z, for years.

Read excerpt

Some have faded with three years of storms and sun, but you can still read the message clearly. As I wrote shortly after the murders, “I’d like to highlight the one system that didn’t fail: the emergency medical system, and everyone in the hospitals that took the survivors that night, particularly at Central Maine
