Michael “Because it’s time to turn the page on paul, i call him paul turn lepage...and I call it that because Paul did a good job for 8 years, he balanced the budget, he did some great stuff on the economy, i agree with him on vocational schools, i agree with him about a lot of stuff but we dont need 4 more years of paul lepage, we need something fresh, something new, something with tremendous clarity.

His reason for running he says is simple.

Michael " In politics, we need someone who is willing to be contreversial, who is gonna tell the truth, who is gonna be honest”
