A voter’s guide to Presque Isle’s Maine House race
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Many important decisions will be on the ballot for Presque Isle’s residents this November, from the presidential election to the senate race between U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and House Speaker Sara Gideon.
Yet, none may be as locally important as representative for Maine House District 147, the only state or federal elected position to exclusively represent the Star City. In March, incumbent Rep. Harold “Trey” Stewart III, R-Presque Isle, opted to run for state Senate against Sen. Mike Carpenter, D-Houlton, leaving District 147 open for the first time since 2014.
The candidates are Democrat Lillie Lavado, founder of HardScrabble Solutions, educator and CRM & Communication Manager at University of Maine campuses in Presque Isle and Fort Kent, and Republican Joseph Underwood, who formerly worked as an accounting technician for the Defense Finance and Accounting Service office in Limestone.
