Billy Kobin

Staff Writer

Billy covers politics for the Press Herald. He joined the newsroom in 2026 after also covering politics for the Bangor Daily News for about two and a half years. Before moving to Maine in 2023, the Wisconsin native reported for the Courier Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, and the Indianapolis Star after graduating from Northwestern University. Billy feels like Maine is right where he needs to be, and apart from reading and enjoying music, he loves getting outside to run, hike, bike, ski and play soccer with friends and family.
