Republican Will Run on the Hill
On July 22nd, Republican Jeff Ferland of Vesper Street on Munjoy Hill announced his candidacy for the Maine House of Representatives for District 120, which encompasses Munjoy Hill and parts of downtown Portland.

Ferland was raised in Lewiston, and lived in Texas and Massachusetts as a result of his family’s military experience. He has returned to Maine on his own and is working toward his Bachelor’s of Information Technology degree at USM. He also works as an IT Consultant/Auditor at a local accounting firm. He previously worked at an internationally active technology company in Eastern Massachusetts.

Ferland said he would focus his campaign on lower taxes, cutting wasteful spending, and waste and inefficiency in government. He joins Democrat Ann Rand and Green Independent Ben Meiklejohn in the race.
