Candidate for governor hopes to ski to victory

Steve DeAngelis of Readfield is hoping to ski his way to victory in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. Steve has been an exceptional teacher and cross-country ski coach at Maranacook High School. He has had a very positive impact on thousands of students, including two of my kids.

On March 24, Steve takes his campaign to northern Maine, where he will ski from Fort Kent to Millinocket. And here’s the really good news. You can ski with him.
If you are not a skier, Steve’s hoping you will join him at one of his scheduled events along the way. Here’s the information you need to do that.

Steve’s Ski Adventure

Steve DeAngelis, Democratic candidate for Governor of Maine, is planning a ski tour across Northern Maine. He has been a ski coach for 40 years, and plans to engage Northern Maine voters through the outdoor activity that he loves the most.
