LePage Announces Re-Election at Private Event

Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) announced that he would seek a second term in office during a private fundraising event hosted by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the Lewiston Sun Journal reports.

“LePage was reticent about running last week after the Democratic majority in the state Legislature, with help from some Republican lawmakers, doled out a veto override on a state budget LePage rejected for tax increases.”
