Angus believes that strengthening Maine’s future starts with getting education back on track. His plan is focused on “back to basics”—making sure every child can read by the end of third grade using proven approaches because “our kids don’t get these years back.” He’s committed to an all-hands-on-deck approach that brings together parents, teachers, and communities to deliver results.

He also believes every student should graduate with a path—whether that’s college, career training, a job or an apprenticeship—so Maine builds the best trained workforce in America. His plan supports higher pay and better career paths for teachers, and invests in classrooms so educators can succeed.

In Maine, his work included leading a project to turn cow manure into clean energy—creating jobs, heating homes and lowering emissions without adding costs for Maine families.
Outside of work, Angus is a dedicated community leader and an outdoorsman who values Maine’s woods and waters, spending time hiking, fishing, and paddling with his wife, Cricket, their two children, and Snowy the dog.

We face real opportunity in the shape of real challenges, and Angus knows that we can build a better Maine together. He is running for governor to bring a fresh, results-driven approach, focused on lowering costs, building housing, strengthening schools, and creating opportunity for every Mainer.
