Yes, Maine has a republican governor. The state of Maine is about evenly split between Liberals in the cities along the coast that make their living off the tourist industry and salt of the earth types(lumber and fishing)that make their living off the land and sea.
The governor was the owner of Mardens, a chain of discount home center yards. My company sells them.
Actually, Paul LePage was the CEO of the Mardens chain of discount stores here in Maine, not the owner of the chain.
His wife Anne, as you probably know, helps wounded veterans and even went skydiving with a wounded warrior. She’s a very classy and down to Earth woman.
