AUGUSTA, Maine — The Maine Heritage Policy Center, arguably Maine’s most active and vocal conservative public policy group, is losing its most visible spokesman.
Tarren Bragdon, CEO of the think tank and a close adviser to Republican Gov. Paul LePage, announced Tuesday that he is leaving Maine next month to start a similar organization in Florida.
“This is a great opportunity,” Bragdon said in an interview. “Florida is the fourth-largest state, and I’m looking forward to having an influence on limited government and free-market policies there.”
For the past 3½ years, Bragdon has helped lead an organization that has played a major and often controversial role in policy debates over such hot-button issues as government spending, welfare reform and, most recently, Maine’s pension debt.
