Maine Impact

An Interview with Pat LaMarche

Posted Thursday, October 26th |

Today, we bring you a Maine Impact Exclusive: An interview with Pat LaMarche, Green party candidate for Governor.

Jason couldn’t make it, but Lance talked with Pat for over a half-hour, covering her universal healthcare plan for Maine, giving Maine government contracts to Maine businesses, Maine government standing up to the pressure of businesses to shape laws, and the responsibility of legislators to actually read the bills they vote on. LaMarche also defended her position to call home Maine’s National Guard troops if elected.

Some LaMarche quotes from the interview:

• “Nothing makes me happier than putting the State of Maine [government] on notice.”
• “I have a real problem with current leadership.”
• “I’m basically against term limits…I think they do our jobs for us eventually.”
• “The lovely thing about Democracy is we get to disagree.”
