Paul LePage is a former two-term Republican governor of Maine, known for his controversial and outspoken style. Elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2014, he gained national attention for his brash remarks and his claim of being 'Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular.' After being term-limited in 2018, he attempted a political comeback in 2022 but lost to Democratic Governor Janet Mills. Now, LePage is considering a bid for Congress in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, which is seen as a key swing seat.
