KENNEBUNK, Maine — When The Maine Mirror published its original Candidate Spotlight featuring Jonathan R. Fallon, the campaign had not yet submitted responses to the publication’s standard five-question questionnaire.

On July 20, 2026, Fallon’s campaign manager, Connor Reed, contacted The Maine Mirror and provided the campaign’s completed responses.

As part of The Maine Mirror’s commitment to transparency, accessibility, and equal treatment of every candidate seeking public office, the responses below are published as they were submitted by the campaign. Aside from minor formatting to the article itself, the responses have not been edited.

Readers can also explore every candidate featured in this ongoing series by visiting The Maine Mirror’s Meet the Candidates Hub:

About This Series

The Maine Mirror’s Candidate Spotlight series is designed to provide voters with factual, accessible information about the individuals seeking public office in Maine. Every candidate is invited to answer the same five questions and may submit responses before or after publication of their initial profile.

When responses are received after a Candidate Spotlight has already been published, The Maine Mirror may publish them separately to preserve the original article while ensuring voters have access to the candidate’s own words.

Candidates who wish to submit responses, request factual corrections, or provide updated campaign information are encouraged to contact editor@themainemirror.com at any time during the election cycle.
