Headlines: Maine Senate Dems Elect Leadership

Maine Morning Star:

Maine Senate Democrats chose Sen. Mattie Daughtry of Brunswick to serve as chamber president, leading the majority that Democrats maintained on Nov. 5, though likely by slimmer margins as final counts are tallied. "Our constituents are depending on us to hold the line against cruel and unjust federal policies,” Daughtry shared in a statement Thursday night following the vote. "I will take our messaging extremely seriously because we have a duty to expand our reach, not alienate people."
