U.S. Sen. Angus King is a politician who has served Maine and the country with integrity and common sense.

With foresight and courage, the independent senator announced that he would not vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Lifetime appointments should require substantial bipartisan support, but this process, too rushed and flawed, became downright ugly when accusations of Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct surfaced. But Angus didn’t wait for this debacle to make his decision. After closely studying Kavanaugh’s judicial record, King found it raised questions about issues we both support, such as health care for everyone, women’s equality, civil rights, and protection of the environment.

King studies the issues, uses research and reason to find the best course of action, and joins others across party lines to make that happen. Let’s continue the proud Maine tradition of sending outstanding leaders to Washington by voting for Sen. King this November.
