FREEPORT – Campaigning in Freeport Saturday, 1st Congressional District candidate Chellie Pingree (D-North Haven) said that through the 18 months she has been on the trail, the conversation has changed drastically.

In the beginning – facing a six-way primary – she said the debate centered on the Iraq War and energy policy. Now – especially with the recent Wall Street bailout – it focuses almost entirely on the economy.

Strimling accuses Pingree of setting up ‘dirty trick’ through donation

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

Ethan Strimling’s campaign has returned a $250 donation from a Connecticut hedge fund, saying it was given as a “dirty trick” by one of Chellie Pingree’s supporters.

Strimling and Pingree are both Democratic candidates in the 1st Congressional District race. Six Democrats and two Republicans are seeking the seat.

Pingree’s campaign said they know nothing of the donation, and public records searches show the fund’s founder had donated to Strimling’s interests in the past.
