State Representative Laurel Libby returns to Q Point Podcast to reflect on a turbulent five-month stretch following her censure. “It was both the slowest and the fastest five months of my life,” she says, recounting the legal fight to restore her vote and the conversations she had with Mainers along the way.

In this in-studio interview, Libby discusses the atmosphere at the State House, staying connected to her district, and what the final hours of the legislative session looked like. She also shares her perspective on Maine’s $11.6 billion budget, education outcomes, healthcare access, and the state’s business climate—as well as why she’s considering a run for governor.
