Son of independent U.S. senator mounts Maine gubernatorial bid
Democrat Angus King III, a son of U.S. Sen. Angus King Jr.'s, I-Maine, has announced a bid for the Maine governorship. "I'm Angus King, and if you know my dad, you know my values," the gubernatorial hopeful said in a campaign video. His father previously served as governor of the state from early 1995 until early 2003, and has served in the U.S. Senate since early 2013. SEN. ANGUS KING: A 'DECLARATION OF CONSCIENCE' ON DONALD TRUMP'S 100TH DAY "Ever since the day we met in Skowhegan, I've known Angus has something special. He's always been hard-working, smart, engaged, and caring, and I'm so proud of who he is today and the work he's set out to do," Sen. King said, according to Angus King III's campaign website, which notes that he was born in Skowhegan. "He's a builder and an optimist who knows Maine and doesn't quit until the job is done. He's been building things to take care of people and make the world a better place throughout his life, and I think his combination of smarts, experience, and character will make him an excellent governor of Maine. In fact, I'm sure he'll be in the top two governors named Angus ever," the senator added. 6 US GOVERNORS TO OPEN TALKS WITH CANADIAN PROVINCIAL LEADERS ON TARIFFS Current Maine Gov.
