Michaud joked about a renowned Maine phrase, “you can’t get there from here,” during his address. He said many people told him that as he pursued his career in politics, but he never let that stop him.
“As you go forward, just remember to find the thing that drives you and let it guide you,” he said. “And always remember, you can get there from here if you want to.”
