Angus King

I had no intention of getting back into politics. I was teaching at Bowdoin and happily retired from politics.

One of my life principles is that if something isn't working, doing something harder isn't necessarily going to produce the same result.

I worked in the Senate in the 1970s. I worked for the Labor, Public Welfare Committee, and we had Ted Kennedy and my old boss, Bill Hathaway, and Walter Mondale.

I am pleased to launch the Friends of Thailand Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.

I remember when I was in art classes, I hated following the assignments. And I would get in trouble for doing something totally different or taking it in a weird direction.

In the Armed Services Committee, we endeavored to put forth proposals that would help alleviate some of that stress, both for the troops and for their families.
