Vote for Pete. No, not that Pete. The one with the hard to pronounce last name… NO THE OTHER ONE.
The ProbablyWork extended space time continuum has its annual breakdown with special guest and Maine House of Representatives candidate Pete Bourgelais, who answers your questions and talks about various Maine state policy issues, like adding dental coverage to MaineCare (Maine’s Medicaid program) and rural broadband. Also there’s stuff about skittles and a food review with our very own Handsome Harry. To learn more about Pete’s campaign and how to contribute, check out the links below.
