AUGUSTA (AP) — Republican Gov. Paul LePage recently headed to New Jersey to raise money alongside Gov. Chris Christie.
The breakfast fundraiser took place in Benardsville on Monday. Attendees were charged $3,000 for the event at the Benards Inn.
Christie, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, has already visited Maine twice to campaign for LePage this year and has said that he plans to return at least once more before the November election.
During his last trip to Maine last month, Christie said that the RGA would spend millions of dollars in the state to help LePage win another term.
The RGA has already released three television ads for the Republican governor, who’s in a close three-way race with Democrat Mike Michaud and independent Eliot Cutler.
