Republican Paul LePage proclaimed himself “Trump before Trump” several years ago, deluded that being aligned with the would-be dictator and wannabe king would be of political advantage to him during his term as governor. Well, here we are again, and he wants the people of Maine to think he has changed his stripes? I don’t think so!

LePage continues to blame national problems on our Democratic governor, Janet Mills. He continues to complain about almost everyone and everything that does not deserve blame at the local and state levels. He continues to be a negative person and influencer and divider on so many other issues.

Mainers need a uniter to bring together people with diverse, nonpartisan, positive opinions, who will carry Maine and its people into a U.S.-leading future. We need Janet Mills to continue her leadership for another four years (and Reps. Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden to do the same for another two).
