Show Notes

Eight Maine gubernatorial candidates gathered in Houlton, the first time a tribe hosted such an event. Most pledged support for hiring Wabanaki people and sales tax exemptions. Broad agreement emerged on recognizing full tribal sovereignty, with five candidates backing recent sovereignty bills. Differences surfaced in a fast-paced question round, with King not fully committing to tribal control over land use and Bennett opposing expanding gaming. Tribal leaders now gauge which voices will deliver real action.
