ME: Sunday Telegram Publishes Background Piece on Independent Eliot Cutler

The Maine Sunday Telegram has published a detailed background piece on independent candidate for governor of Maine, Eliot Cutler:

Some of the Harvard Lampoon students chose other career paths. "I decided instead to go work for Ed Muskie," said Eliot Cutler. "I won't pretend it wasn't a difficult choice. It was in part the right thing to do, in part a different challenge, in part, it was growing up." He worked for the Maine senator, and for President Jimmy Carter, then went into environmental and land-use law for the next 25 years, working on issues around the globe.

Today, he's an independent candidate for governor. As an unenrolled candidate, he has no primary. The June 8 Republican and Democratic primaries will narrow the field of party candidates from 11 to two. And because Cutler has gathered enough signatures, he'll be on the Nov. 2 general election ballot with them, along with other unenrolled candidates who have qualified.
