The 207 Interview: US Senate candidate Jason Cherry

New to Maine and with virtually no name recognition, this Independent is on the ballot in a four-way race.

PORTLAND, Maine — Jason Cherry is an unconventional political candidate.

Believing that “each voter holds a right to government ownership,” he has stated on his website that if he is elected he intends “to follow an executor-style approach to representing Mainers that is similar to the manner in which legal executors manage property fairly on behalf of many beneficiaries.”

Here’s a quick look at his background.

Residence: Unity

Work experience: Worked as a conservation officer, lawyer, FBI special agent, and legal instructor.

Political experience: None.

We talked with Cherry about his lack of name recognition, energy policy, attracting tech companies to Maine, and other issues. Watch our 207 conversation to learn more.
