Upon announcing the endorsement, EMILYs List Deputy Chief Campaigns Officer Emily Parés said, “Shanna Cox understands that too many Lewiston families and small businesses are working harder than ever and still struggling to get ahead. Shanna is committed to solving these problems with real solutions and EMILYs List is proud to support her.”

“Maine has made important progress on stopping gun violence, but we still have a long way to go. From cracking down on gun trafficking to holding irresponsible members of the gun industry accountable, we need strong leaders like Shanna to get these life saving policies across the finish line. Shanna knows that commonsense gun laws and responsible gun ownership go hand in hand, and I know she has what it takes to stand up for the safety of every voter in the 21st district. I’m proud to endorse Shanna Cox, and urge Maine voters to send her to Augusta this fall.”

Shanna will bring our kitchen table issue to Augusta. As a former Senator and Representative for Lewiston, Shanna is who we need in a Senator for Lewiston!

For years, Cox has worked tirelessly to strengthen Lewiston and Auburn through her leadership at the LA Metro Chamber, building connections between businesses, nonprofits, local leaders and families. She understands that strong communities are built through collaboration, compassion and hard work, and she has consistently shown up for this region with all three as a priority.

What I admire most about Cox is that she genuinely cares about people. She listens thoughtfully, approaches challenges with professionalism and kindness and works to bring people together even when opinions differ. Those qualities matter deeply in Augusta right now.

Shanna listens carefully, brings people together, and follows through. She works collaboratively to move initiatives forward in ways that benefit both businesses and the broader community.

I also saw her lead during some of the most challenging times our community has faced, including COVID and the aftermath of the tragedy in Lewiston, always with steadiness, compassion, and a focus on moving forward.

I’ve seen how Shanna leads, with integrity, energy and a real commitment to this community. She brings people together and gets things done. I have full confidence she will be a strong, thoughtful voice for Lewiston in the Senate!

Shanna Cox is a person who gets things done. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shanna for over 15 years, and her drive, focus, and positive energy has never ceased to amaze me.
