Four seats in Maine School Administrative District 40 were up for election on June 10, 2025. Incumbents Randy Kassa and Danny Jackson were re-elected, while Timothy Wood defeated incumbent Erik Amundsen, and Richard Butler defeated incumbent Julie Swindler after a recount affirmed Butler’s one-vote victory.

This district included the towns of Warren, Waldoboro, and Union. Members were elected to three-year terms on the 16-member board.

Bangor Daily News' Jules Walkup wrote before the election, "A decade ago, little attention would have been paid to school board races in many parts of Maine. But RSU 40 has turned into a battleground over some of the hot-button social issues — especially around gender— that emerged during the early days of the COVID pandemic and have taken on new weight since President Donald Trump made them a central part of his new administration."

According to the Penobscot Bay Pilot's Sarah Masters, the district created guidelines that included "addressing students by their preferred name and pronouns, permitting them to use the locker rooms and restrooms that most closely match their gender identity, and developing a support plan for the student." The plan was implemented in 2018 and amended in 2023, adding a section that set the policy so that an administrator would have to discuss with the student before disclosing the student's gender identity to their parents.

On June 6, 2024, the board voted 8-8 to repeal the district's student gender policy. As the district used weighted voting, giving more voting power to members from more populous towns, the weighting favored the members voting to repeal the gender policy. Bangor Daily News's Jules Walkup wrote, "supporters of the policy say that it helps marginalized students to feel more welcomed and gives staff more guidance about how to support them, while the board members opposed to the policy have argued that it undermines families and isn’t necessary given state protections for transgender people." On August 1, 2024, after an election that shifted the balance of power to a liberal majority, the board voted to reinstate the policy.

Richard Butler defeated Julie Swindler for one of the Warren seats. Swindler, who served on the board since 2019, voted against repeal and in favor of restoring it. She said the rules were helpful to transgender youth and did not affect state law: "Transgender individuals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. These actions were largely symbolic, as school boards do not have the authority to override state law." Richard Butler was a military veteran and worked for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Butler opposed the guidelines and wrote in a Facebook post, "[M]y biggest concern is the lack of immediate parental notification if a child wants to change their name or gender identity."

In the other Warren seat, the incumbent Randy Kassa won re-election unopposed. He voted to repeal the policy in June 2024, but said he did not intend to vote for any more changes.

Incumbent Danny Jackson defeated Sonja Sleeper for the Waldoboro seat. Jackson, who had been on the board since 2012, supported the district’s policies and said, "I support current state law. I would not want to have the current policies changed." Sleeper did not publicly share her position on the policies.

In the Union seat, Timothy Wood defeated incumbent Erik Amundsen. Amundsen opposed the repeal and supported the district's policies. Wood previously ran for a seat on the board in 2024 and opposed the policies during that campaign.

The towns in the district voted for Donald Trump (R) in 2024, but also voted for Democratic-caucusing Sen. Angus King (I).

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Marvin Mathelier (Nonpartisan)

Housing and Transportation - I’ll fight for more affordable rental units and expanded first-time homebuyer programs by taxing greedy out-of-town developers profiting from displacing hard-working Bostonians. I’ll champion a fare-free MBTA with reliable service and expanded routes that connect neighborhoods. Pedestrian safety and enforcing the rules of the road will reduce traffic and make streets safer.

Public Safety and Quality of Life - Safety is a right, not a privilege. I’ll work to improve community-police relations, increase funding for mental health and substance use, and invest in youth jobs and community-based programs. I’ll prioritize faster snow removal, cleaning up parks, and repairing sidewalks so Boston becomes a city where families feel safe and neighborhoods are vibrant, clean, and welcoming.

Education and Small Businesses - Schools have to prepare students for the real world. I’ll fight for STEM and vocational programs that are pipelines to good-paying jobs, and a curriculum that includes financial literacy, civics, social-emotional learning, and the arts. We need more grants and city contracts for small businesses, and simplified permitting that allows entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses.

Henry Santana (Nonpartisan)

As someone who grew up in a Boston Housing Authority community, Henry understands the importance of affordable housing and works tirelessly to tackle the high cost of housing in Boston. Henry was part of the fight to eliminate broker fees and continues to be a champion for the expansion of mixed-income social housing because he is guided by a core belief that working families shouldn't have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table.

As Public Safety Committee Chair, Councilor Henry Sanatana has helped Boston remain the safest major city in the country through community partnerships and addressing the root causes of crime and disorder. Henry has spent his first term advocating for programs that support youth mentorship, after-school activities, and other opportunities that foster positive development. Henry is equally committed to expanding access to affordable, culturally competent mental health care, and aggressively advocating for legislation that increases resources and dismantles barriers to access.

Under Henry's leadership, youth unemployment hit record lows because he invested in programs that actually work. He wants every young person in Boston to have access to good jobs, quality education, and real opportunities to succeed right here at home.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Marvin Mathelier (Nonpartisan)

Housing, Boston Public Schools, Small Businesses

Henry Santana (Nonpartisan)

As a product of Boston Public Schools and someone who grew up in Alice Taylor Boston Housing Authority apartments, Councilor Henry Santana has witnessed first-hand the importance of investing in our youth. Because of his experience growing up, affordable housing, youth employment, and public transportation access are all major priorities for Councilor Santana. Henry is also deeply invested in improving Boston Public Schools and community safety as the Chair of both the Public Safety and Education Committees, Henry has helped oversee a dramatic reduction in violent crime in Boston as well as a dramatic improvement in school bus on-time performance.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Marvin Mathelier (Nonpartisan)

My military service exemplifies my leadership. As a Marine Corps Major, I led humanitarian missions across Latin America and the Caribbean and played a key role in disaster response and security cooperation in Haiti.

As Chair of the Toussaint Louverture Cultural Center, I turned a 20-year vision into reality, securing a rent-free space in Boston’s West End and raising nearly $300,000 to create a hub for Haitian culture and community. As co-owner of Ula Café, I and my wife Beth have fostered connection by hosting local artists, events, and providing meals for those in need.

As a member of the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council, I co-chaired the Housing Committee, advocating for affordable housing and equitable development. I founded Call It Out, a grassroots organization addressing inequities in Boston’s BIPOC communities.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Norwich University, a military college in Vermont. With an MBA from Loyola University and an MPA from Columbia University, I blend academic expertise with hands-on experience. My policy work on U.S.-Haiti relations and gender equity has been published internationally, contributing to meaningful change.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Marvin Mathelier (Nonpartisan)

In a strong-mayor system, the City Council’s role is to represent the needs of the people and hold the mayor accountable by pushing for policies and budget decisions that reflect the priorities of Boston’s neighborhoods. Critically, the council is the only real check on the mayor, and it is important that councilors are independent of the mayor.

Henry Santana (Nonpartisan)

As City Councilor At-Large, Henry is dedicated to creating a Boston where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive, and where every resident plays an active role in building a more equitable and just community. From Mission Hill to East Boston, Dorchester to Hyde Park, Henry Santana is committed to representing every resident of Boston. He envisions a city where accessible government systems uplift every community member. Before his role as City Councilor At-Large, Henry served as the inaugural director for Mayor Michelle Wu's Office of Civic Organizing. Henry believes that community engagement is key to the success of any Boston City Councilor and feels that it is his responsibility to bring in residents and help them get more involved in city government.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Henry Santana (Nonpartisan)

Councilor Henry Santana's journey to citizenship was not without its challenges. As a child, he moved to the U.S. and became a permanent resident. However, his birth certificate from the Dominican Republic was lost, making it difficult to verify his citizenship and register as a voter until his mid-twenties. Despite this obstacle, Henry remained actively engaged in local politics, working on campaigns and serving the public in various capacities. Henry’s experience growing up in an immigrant household allows him to better understand the challenges that immigrants in our city face. Henry is committed to ensuring that all residents feel safe here, including our immigrant neighbors. Henry is a supporter of the Trust Act and voted to re-affirm the City’s commitment to protecting our immigrant communities from unjust persecution from federal agencies.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Marvin Mathelier (Nonpartisan)

Engaging all residents, not just the well-connected, is a must, and ensuring their voices are taken seriously is essential to building trust and accountability. At a fundamental level, I strongly support making hybrid access to public meetings permanent to increase accessibility and participation. For example, I support reforms to Article 80 related to land development, which aim to increase community engagement through greater transparency and involvement.
