    The Morning After: Gwyneth Lonergan and Maine Senate and Presidential Campaigning

    Welcome to a special edition of our podcast, Deacs & Democracy, on the day after Election Day: November 4, 2020. Gwyneth Lonergan, a Wake Forest senior took the time to speak with me today about her involvement in this election. Over the past couple of months, she has interned for the coordinated campaign in Maine, specifically with Democrat Senate challenger Sarah Gideon, who’s is hoping to unseat long-standing moderate Republican Susan Collins. But, she has also worked with the Biden campaign there and across the country.
