Maine governor hopeful could be the first elected
gay governor in history.
Responding to a “whisper campaign,” U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, the leading Democratic gubernatorial campaign in Maine, announced this morning that he is gay. Michaud, if elected next year, would be the first openly gay gubernatorial candidate to win in U.S. history. (New Jersey’s Jim McGreevy was elected in 2001, but came out in 2004.)
Could we have two in the same election cycle?
Confirming the worst-kept secret in politics, former Gov. Charlie Crist is running to get his old job back and he’ll run as a Democrat.
