The Lincoln County Democratic Committee (LCDC) will host Imke Schessler-Jandreau, newly-elected vice chair for the Maine Democratic State Committee (DSC), at its next meeting on Thursday, April 24, at 7 p.m. The hybrid meeting will be held in person at the Newcastle Fire Station, 86 River Road, or via Zoom.

Schessler-Jandreau works alongside the new DSC Chair Charlie Dingman, to expand outreach efforts into the community and raise up all voices. “Maine will be a crucial electoral battleground in 2026 with a governor's race, a U.S. Senate race and, of course, control of the state legislature at stake,” said LCDC Chair Keith Mestrich. “We're excited to get the lay of the land from Imke in her new state leadership role, and to learn how Lincoln County can play an important role in the state party's plans.”

Schessler-Jandreau lives in Bangor and is a communication professional and adjunct professor at The University of Maine’s Communication and Journalism Department.
