LePage to challenge King for Senate seat if not selected to Trump Administration
WMTW ^ | 05/05/2016 | WMTW

Gov. Paul LePage hopes Donald Trump picks him to be part of his administration if he is elected to office.

If not, he'll run against Angus King for U.S. Senate in 2018.

That's what the governor said at his town hall meeting in Lewiston on Wednesday night.

It would seem that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and the governor's wife, First Lady Ann LePage, are the only people who can stop LePage from running for Senate.

"I said earlier that if I'm not into the Trump Administration, I will be running against Angus King," said LePage. "Now, don't tell my wife. She hasn't said yes yet."

Paul LePage makes Donald Trump look warm and cuddly.

I want Kasich to run against Sherrod Brown for Brown’s senate seat....assuming Brown isn’t Clinton’s VP pick. I don’t think he will be.

Close family friend knows LePage pretty well. Worked with him for years at Marden's.

Says that LePage is the real deal. As close to a 100% genuine, average Joe Conservative as we're going to get in a political office. Also says that he's honest...not "Mostly Honest" or "Just not been caught yet." ... a real straight arrow.

Likely, this is why Liberals in Maine are terrified of him.

Well, I hope he is not chosen for a post in the administration then.

Any number of people can be Secretary of Whatever. LePage is the only Republican likely to have a real chance of beating King.
