The only Aroostook County gubernatorial debate was held last Tuesday – exactly one week prior to Election Day – at the Presque Isle Middle School auditorium. The debate was hosted by Leaders Encouraging Aroostook Development (LEAD) and WAGM-TV, and was moderated by LEAD member Jason Parent. Participating in the debate, which was broadcast live on WAGM’s CBS affiliate and two county radio stations, were, from left: Independent candidate Eliot Cutler, Republican Paul LePage, Democrat Libby Mitchell and Independent candidates Shawn Moody and Kevin Scott. More than 400 county residents attended the live debate. Results of yesterday’s election will appear in next week’s issue.
