Nirav Shah should be the Democratic candidate for Senate for Maine. He has already proven that his calm, reasonable leadership can guide the people of Maine through difficult times.

Maine’s outrage should stem violent overreach by ICE | Letter
Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was killed by ICE agents in Biddeford in yet another tragic, violent overreaction by ICE agents. These overreactions have killed too many American citizens and community residents who are immigrants with legal standing.
