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.
