Adam Cote Offers Democrats A New Path In June Primary

With seven candidates in the Democratic primary for governor, there is a candidate for every preference. From moderates to liberals to business people to lawmakers to lobbyists, each candidate brings a different resume to the race. And while all seven agree on the broad outlines of policy — universal health care, a strong safety net, restrictions on gun purchases, restoring civility in Augusta — they differ on how such policies would be enacted. There are also four women on the Democratic primary ballot, a historic high. Unlike their Republican counterparts, Democratic voters have a diverse slate of candidates to rank on the June 12 ballot.
