ME-GOV: Hannah Pingree (D), daughter of Maine congresswoman (D), enters race for governor
The race to be the next governor of Maine now includes the children of two members of the state’s congressional delegation.
Former Maine House Speaker Hannah Pingree, the daughter of Rep. Chellie Pingree, launched a bid for governor Tuesday, joining businessman Angus King III, the namesake son of the state’s junior senator, in a crowded Democratic primary.
The younger King, whose father is an independent who caucuses with Democrats, launched his gubernatorial campaign last month to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Janet Mills.
“We’re being tested like never before: On top of a climate crisis, a housing crisis, and skyrocketing costs, a president abusing his power to attack Mainers,” Pingree says in her launch video. “As speaker of the Maine House, I took on the tough fights to do what’s right for Maine.”
