The Bowdoin College Democrats and Bowdoin College Conservatives have announced a third and final debate for U.S. Senate candidates in Maine for Saturday, Nov. 2.
The debate will be at 6 p.m. in Bowdoin College’s Kresge Auditorium, 239 Maine St., Brunswick. Demi Kouzounas, David Costello and Jason Cherry have confirmed their attendance. A request for Sen. Angus King Jr. was still pending as of Thursday.
A collaboration between the Bowdoin College Democrats and the Bowdoin College Conservatives, with sponsorship from Bowdoin’s Government and Legal Studies Department and the McKeen Center for the Common Good, this debate aims to elevate the student and youth vote in Maine.
The debate was planned, organized and will be moderated by students. All questions are written by students to address student- and youth-specific issues prevalent to this election. A livestream will be available to all colleges throughout the state and students from each of these colleges will have the opportunity to submit questions for the candidates.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
