The
Republican Main Street Partnership Political Action
Committee, a group that seeks to elect centrist
Republicans, has endorsed former local economic
development official Brian Hamel (R) in his uphill
campaign against freshman Rep. Mike Michaud (D).
“Brian Hamel is
ideally suited to represent
Maine’s 2nd
Congressional district,” said Sen. Susan Collins
(R-Maine), a member of the PAC’s advisory board. “He
has the experience and determination to create jobs
and economic growth in Maine.”
Hamel is the former
president and CEO of the Loring
Development Authority, an aviation and industrial
complex and business park. He has also done economic
development work in
New Hampshire.
