With Republicans in charge, William Schneider will most likely be the first Republican Attorney General in Maine since 1980.
From MPBN.net:
Maine Republican lawmakers have nominated Assistant U.S. Attorney William Schneider to be Maine’s next attorney general.
Schneider also worked as an assistant attorney general and served as assistant minority leader in the Maine House of Representatives during his two terms in the Legislature.
Schneider competed for the nomination against Sen. Doug Smith of Dover Foxcroft, a retired probate judge who is now an attorney in private practice.
Schneider is making a bid for the post now held by Democrat Janet Mills. With Republicans in the majority, Schneider is virtually assured of winning the post.
