Independent Sen. Angus King endorsed independent Eliot Cutler for governor because of Cutler’s strong business background, despite steady polling that shows Cutler’s support in the low teens.
So a long, lucrative career as a lobbying lawyer is considered a “strong business background” versus Mike Michaud’s 30 years of public service?
“Independent” King also endorsed Republican Susan Collins for U.S. Senate over Constitution-defending young fireball Shenna Bellows.
The principles and issues valued by independent candidates are not always clear – except for Mr. Cutler, who puts his own ego over the best interests of Maine, potentially ensuring another four years of the most harmfully partisan governor Maine has ever endured.
We must vote Paul LePage out of the office that Cutler helped put him in. U.S. Rep. Michaud has served for three decades as a fair, nonpartisan people’s representative. Mike proudly partnered across aisles in Maine’s Senate and House and in Congress, while Cutler has been partnering with big business.
Seriously, Sen. King?
