Bowdoinham Democrats had a great turnout at the Celebrate Bowdoinham parade this morning! A bit of a chilly start for what turned into a gorgeous day. #MEPolitics #BowdoinhamDemocrats #CelebrateBowdoinham #Sal’sOurGal @hannahpingree.bsky.social @troyjackson207.bsky.social

The Bowdoinham Democrats marching in the Celebrate Bowdoinham parade. Someone is carrying a wooden blue sign that says “Bowdoinham Democrats” in white. One man is carrying the Maine pine tree flag and in the back another man is carrying a large American flag. Two people are holding up a “We the People” banner. Someone else is holding a “Denise Tepler for Maine Senate” campaign sign. Most everyone in this picture is wearing a “Sal’s Our Gal” shirt except for Sally Cluchey herself whose shirt just says “Sal!”.

A Troy Jackson for Maine and a Hannah Pingree for Governor campaign sign attached to a post that I held up for the parade.

Me! Sitting in the back of a truck during the parade route. I’m wearing a purple shirt that reads “Sal’s Our Gal” in orange. Behind me is a Sally Cluchey State Representative campaign sign stuck into a bale of hay also in the back of the truck.
