In January 2013, Angus King was sworn in as Maine’s first Independent United States Senator, filling the same seat once held by storied Maine leaders Edmund Muskie, George Mitchell, Bill Cohen, and Olympia Snowe. A strong believer in the need for greater bipartisan dialogue and relationship building, Senator King is proud to join the long line of thoughtful, independent leaders from the State of Maine, He is a proven consensus-builder on Capitol Hill, who pursues workable solutions from both sides of the aisle -- recently telling “CBS 60 Minutes” his goal is to ‘ring the bell of common sense’ in a nationally-broadcast profile of his legislative philosophy. He works hard every day to bring Republicans and Democrats together to find common-sense solutions for Maine and America.
