In the debut episode of The Heart of Maine, Michael Connolly talks with Kevin Concannon, a Lewiston native whose career in public service has spanned decades and crossed state and federal lines. From his early days in Maine state government to his appointment as Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services under President Obama, Concannon has remained committed to fighting hunger and improving the lives of vulnerable Americans. In this conversation, he reflects on his Irish Catholic upbringing, the values that shaped his career, and the lessons he’s learned from a lifetime in public service.
