Two Democrats join campaign to challenge Snowe (This makes 4)
WASHINGTON - Two Democrats said Friday that they are running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, expanding the Democratic primary field to four.
State Sen. Cynthia Dill, D-Cape Elizabeth, made it official, after saying earlier this month on her blog that "against all odds" she was considering a U.S. Senate run.
"I am going to go for it," Dill said in a phone interview Friday. "My hope is that Maine is willing to vote for a new voice in Washington, a new generation of leadership."

Former Secretary of State Matt Dunlap of Old Town and state Rep. Jon Hinck of Portland entered the Democratic primary late last year.
A political newcomer said Friday that he, too, is joining the Democratic primary.
Benjamin Pollard, who owns Pollard Builders in Portland, said in a phone interview that he is running on a platform stressing economic development, national security and environmental concerns. He hopes it will appeal to Democrats and Republicans alike

I have no idea who Pollard is and I'm not sure Dill's support for the northern Park will endear her to the Second CD.
