Description

You might know the name but you don't know the long life of helping Maine. While the son of a Senator, now Angus King III is running for Governor. He is a builder, innovator, and lifelong Mainer who has spent decades taking on big challenges — and winning. He’s built affordable housing for thousands of families, delivered hundreds of megawatts of clean wind and solar energy across the U.S. and abroad, and led a Maine company that turned cow manure into energy, heating thousands of homes without raising costs. Born in Skowhegan and now raising his family in Portland, Angus knows the struggles of working Mainers firsthand — from housing costs to stagnant wages. He’s running for governor to lower costs, grow small businesses, expand job training, protect healthcare, and make government work for the people who get up early, work late, and keep Maine running. Angus believes in common-sense solutions and bringing people together — and he won’t quit. Learn more at angusforgovernor.com Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!
