https://bangordailynews.com/2016/02/01/politics/lepage-stumps-for-chris-christie-in-iowa/?ref=regionstateAUGUSTA, Maine Maines Republican Gov. Paul LePage headed to Iowa on Monday to campaign for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is seeking the Republican Partys nomination to be its presidential candidate in 2016.
LePage set out for the Midwest on the day of the Iowa caucuses, the first litmus test for presidential hopefuls.
Christie, who is trailing in the polls in Iowa, offered his support to the Maine governor during LePages 2014 successful re-election campaign.
LePage, in turn, has endorsed Christies presidential bid and recently campaigned for Christie in New Hampshire.
