“Ever since the day we met in Skowhegan, I\u2019ve known Angus has something special. He\u2019s always been hard-working, smart, engaged, and caring, and I\u2019m so proud of who he is today and the work he\u2019s set out to do,” Sen. King said, according to Angus King III’s campaign website, which notes that he was born in Skowhegan.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a builder and an optimist who knows Maine and doesn\u2019t quit until the job is done. He\u2019s been building things to take care of people and make the world a better place throughout his life, and I think his combination of smarts, experience, and character will make him an excellent governor of Maine. In fact, I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be in the top two governors named Angus ever,” the senator added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
