Trevorrow Says She Will Be an Energetic, Independent Voice for District 120
Anna Trevorrow won the Green Independent nomination to the State Legislature's 120th district. In a record turnout for a Green Independent primary, Trevorrow took 90% of the vote.
In a speech delivered to a gathering of supporters at Mama’s Crow Bar on Munjoy Hill on Tuesday night, Trevorrow stated that she will be an energetic independent voice for district 120, which represents the East End and Downtown neighborhoods. Trevorrow, a former State Chair of the Green Independent Party and a present elected member of the Portland Charter Commission, has been involved in progressive politics at the municipal level and at the state level for several years.
Trevorrow, who works as a Customer Service Representative at Norway Savings Bank on Exchange Street, has developed a reputation for working tirelessly for all of Maine's residents. A life-long Mainer having lived in both rural and urban Maine, Trevorrow says she understands the needs of various communities and would be honored to serve Portland's East End and Downtown district. On the Charter Commission she spearheaded various progressive issues like ranked choice voting, an elected mayor for Portland and voting rights for legal immigrants in Portland.
Trevorrow believes if she were elected to serve her district in Augusta, she will be in a unique position as a voice independent of the two major parties. Trevorrow says her district deserves the most dynamic representation in Augusta, “We are facing many challenges right now as a state. I will work for energy independence, equitable taxation, and support for struggling small businesses. We have discussed these issues for years with little action. We need a bold leader. I strive to be that new voice for my district.”
Encouraged by the high turnout of Green Independent voters, Trevorrow Campaign Chair and former Green Party State Representative John Eder said, "Anna's campaign helped to increase voter turnout with a record showing of Green Independent primary voters. Anna has shown that she is a thoughtful, hardworking independent minded person, a natural leader who will tirelessly represent the voter rather than taking marching orders from any of the party bosses. We need a clear, reasonable, independent voice to bring some progress to Augusta and get things moving in the right direction and Anna is that voice."
