Another Democrat has jumped into the campaign to oust U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin from his seat representing Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.
Jonathan Fulford of Monroe announced Wednesday that he will run against Poliquin, a Republican, if he wins the 2018 primary against at least two other Democrats. Fulford, a carpenter and farmer, has raised his political profile in the past few years with two unsuccessful campaigns for the Maine Senate against Republican Senate President Mike Thibodeau of Winterport. In 2014, Thibodeau, who was an incumbent at the time, beat Fulford by just 135 votes. In 2016, Thibodeau won by 914 votes out of more than 22,000 cast.
