Here is our final and most inspirational TV Ad yet — “The Future” — which closes with photos submitted by members of our thriving Facebook community.

MPBN aired a piece on Eliot Cutler’s “No Excuse” education policy. Cutler’s plan includes proposals to authorize public charter schools, reward teacher performance and lengthen the school year. Criticizing the Maine Education Association and Democratic legislators, including Democratic candidate Libby Mitchell, for their opposition to legislation authorizing charter schools, Cutler said:

“In the last Legislature, the Senate came very close to agreeing with the House to enact legislation to permit public charter schools. The teachers’ union in Maine, Libby Mitchell and the leadership of the Democratic party, locked arms and made sure that it didn’t pass the Senate”

The Bangor Daily News published a profile of Eliot Cutler, the first of series of candidate profiles. The profile discusses Cutler’s motivation to run for governor as well as his determination to stay in the race and win. Remarking on his approach as an Independent candidate, Cutler said:

“People are tired of the drivel that’s been put out by both political parties, I set out to be the candidate with ideas not rhetoric.”
