John Baldacci (D)
|
|
A career politician and restaurateur from Bangor, U.S. Rep. John Baldacci enjoyed a comfortable lead over retiring state Rep. Peter Cianchette and a pair of third-party candidates throughout the campaign to succeed popular but term-limited Gov. Angus King, an Independent. Baldacci, 47, pledged to build a robust health care plan for state employees, open it to private employers and pay for it without a tax increase. He also hopes to attract foundation support to maintain King's laptop computer program for students, who are likely to see other education programs cut to plug the state's estimated $787 million revenue shortfall.
