BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) - The Maine Republican Party is hosting another forum featuring candidates running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Olympia Snowe.

Wednesday's forum is at 6 p.m. at the Harriet Beecher Stowe School in Brunswick.

The six candidates who are running in the June 12 primary are former state Sen. Rick Bennett; businessman Scott D'Amboise; state Sen. Debra Plowman; state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin; Attorney General William Schneider; and Secretary of State Charlie Summers.

Organizers say all six candidates are expected to show up.

The winner of the June primary will be the Republican nominee in November's general election.
