Why Jordan Wood scrapped his Maine Senate plans to seek the House

Why Jordan Wood scrapped his Maine Senate plans to seek the House. The Lewiston-born political figure, who grew up in Lewiston and Gardiner, built a career in Washington and the Midwest with Democratic groups seeking to curb corporate money and election deniers. Wood previously volunteered for a Democratic congressional campaign in 2016, and observed rural voters in Oxford County shifting toward Trump, a realization he says foretold his later political paths. Now seeking the Democratic nomination in the 2nd District, he moved with his husband and child to Auburn while maintaining a second home in Bristol, aiming to appeal to voters by linking healthcare and cost issues to systemic reform ahead of Tuesday's primary.
