AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - At least 10 candidates have announced their intentions to run for Maine governor next year. The field could grow Monday.
Businessman Les Otten of Greenwood plans to make an announcement Monday about the 2010 governor's race. In June, he announced formation of an exploratory committee. The owner of four businesses, Otten chaired Gov. John Baldacci's Wood to Energy Task Force. He is former owner of Sunday River Ski Resort.
News conferences are scheduled Monday and Tuesday in Scarborough, Bangor and Presque Isle.
