In this episode of the Q-Point Podcast, hosted by Corenna and David Quirk, Maine Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Shenna Bellows joins the conversation to discuss key issues central to her role and campaign.

Drawing from her statewide listening tour, Bellows underscores her commitment to representing the entire state of Maine.
