State candidates speak out in Coast Star forum


KENNEBUNK — Candidates looking to represent Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel in both the House and Senate faced off last week on this election’s hot-button issues, including the economy, the state budget and education.

Candidates for House District 137, House District 141, and House District 140, as well as candidates for Senate District 4, spoke before a group of nearly 30 voters at Kennebunk Town Hall on Oct. 17, during a Candidates Night cosponsored by the York County Coast Star and Video Creations.
Among the top priorities for all the candidates are the economy, jobs, and the business climate in Maine.

“People are worried about the future of Maine. People are worried about the future of the economy. We have to use the resources we have. We can look at business opportunities that we are losing as a state,” said Adam Spey, a Democratic newcomer in the race for House District 140, representing Arundel, Dayton, and parts of Kennebunk and Lyman.

For Wayne Parry, the Republican incumbent running for House District 140 against Spey, the key is businesses.
