ORONO, Maine — Gov. Paul LePage will make a campaign stop at the University of Maine’s Fogler Library to speak with college students from across the state at 1 p.m. on Monday, according to his communications director, Alex Willette.
Lee Jackson, a UMaine student and member of the Regional School Unit 34 school boar d, will introduce the governor. Jackson was elected last year at age 19 to the school board, which serves the nearby community of Old Town.
After the event at UMaine, LePage will make another campaign stop to participate in a groundbreaking ceremony for the Indian Women’s Mission, an organization that distributes food and clothes to women in need. The organization is raising funds to build a new facility at a site in Old Town. Currently, the Indian Women’s Mission operates out of president and founder Rose Scribner’s home on Indian Island.
Scribner, 74, would like to hold job training, nurse assistant training and nutrition classes at the new facility, which she expects could cost up to $200,000 to complete.
