Suggesting that he’s had his fill of state politics, Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) acknowledged Friday that he is considering a run for Congress.
LePage told reporters that he’s considering a run for the seat that will be vacated by Rep. Mike Michaud (D-ME) in Maine’s Second Congressional District. Michaud announced recently that he will launch a gubernatorial bid in 2014.
“I’m considering running for Mike Michaud’s seat if you want to know the truth because it can’t be any worse in Washington than it is here,” LePage said, as quoted by the Portland Press Herald. “Everything’s on the table. Retirement, Social Security, running for Congress, maybe going back to Marden’s to stock shelves, who knows. I don’t take myself as seriously as all you do.”
