Republican U.S. Senate candidate Charlie Summers has been logging a lot of miles in Maine. He went from Bangor to Biddeford today with this stop in Lewiston, where the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced it was endorsing Summers.
Summers, now Maine's Secretary of State, says this endorsement is huge. Then again, the U.S. Chamber has made no secret about who they don't want to be Maine's next U.S. Senator, by running negative ads against Maine's independent candidate, Angus King.
There is something every candidate in this race have in common. Charlie Summers, democratic candidate Cynthia Dill, Angus King and the other independents all say they are the candidates who support small businesses and hard working Maine families.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which represents the interests of businesses on Capitol Hill, say Summers is the only candidate who supports construction of the Excel Pipeline which they say would create tens of thousands of jobs in America and lead to greater energy independence.
