There’s been no shortage of speculation that Maine Senator Susan Collins would run for governor in 2018. She addressed the subject head-on in an interview with WGAN radio this morning.
“Let me say that I am looking at where I can do the most good for the people of Maine,” said Collins, according to a report in the Portland Press Herald. “In the Senate I now have significant seniority and that allows me to do a lot,” she said.
“Coming to be governor, if I were fortunate enough to be elected, you can work on issues I care a lot abou like economic development, jobs, education. And I would try to heal the state and bring people back together, which I think is important as well,” she said.
Needless to say the current governor, Paul LePage, has been a total embarrassment to the state. If elected as Maine’s first female governor the state could embrace the future and leave the tainted past behind. I really hope Collins will opt to run.
