About
Rep. Duchesne
Rep. Duchesne is serving his second term in the Maine
Legislature, which marks a shift in his decades of public
service. In September 2003, he retired from a 31-year
career in radio, the last 17 of which were on WQCB-FM
(Q-106.5) in Bangor as Eastern Maine’s #1 radio
personality. In 2001 he was inducted into the Maine
Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and in 2003
entered the Country Music Disk Jockey Hall of Fame in
Nashville.
During his radio career, Bob was an active leader among
charity and public service organizations in the Bangor
area, including stints as president of Downeast Big
Brothers/ Big Sisters, Maine Audubon, and the Maine
Association of Broadcasters. In addition to continued
service with Maine Audubon, he is on the Board of Directors
for Brewer Economic Development Corporation, the Bangor
Land Trust, and the Caribou Bog-Penjajawoc Marsh Corridor
Project.
Rep. Duchesne earned a degree in Government from Colby
College and a Masters in Business Administration degree
from the University of Maine. His experience in both
business development and environmental activism has
led to a seat on the Legislature’s Natural Resources
Committee. He also serves on the Community Preservation
Advisory Committee, a special committee created by the
Maine Legislature to address sprawl issues in Maine.
Rep. Duchesne lives with his wife, Sandi, on Pushaw
Lake in Hudson.
