Brian Duff quoted about political candidate Chellie Pingree on MPBN

Brian Duff, Ph.D., chair and associate professor in the Department of Political Science, was interviewed by the Maine Public Broadcasting Network (MPBN) for an October 16, 2014 airing of a profile of Chellie Pingree, Democratic candidate for Maine’s first district representative in the U.S. House.

Pingree, who is seeking  re-election for a third term, is considered one of the upcoming election’s safest bets.  According to Duff, "It would take a scandal; it would take saying something really unexpected at the debates" to cause Pingree to lose.

 "Chellie Pingree seems to be a disciplined candidate.  She’s done well in her previous campaigns, and she doesn’t seem prone to major slipups," stated Duff.
