LePage chooses daughter for administration post

[MaineDem]

AUGUSTA, Maine — Gov.-elect Paul LePage has appointed his daughter, Lauren, to a staff position within the upper echelon of his administration, members of the LePage transition team said Wednesday.

Lauren LePage, 22, will serve as assistant to the governor’s chief of staff, John McGough — a position that administration officials describe as entry-level and is commensurate with her experience, work history and education.

LePage, a recent college graduate, will be a salaried political appointee earning approximately $41,000 a year, according to Dan Demeritt, incoming director of communications in the LePage administration.

“Lauren LePage has been an extremely valuable member of the campaign and the transition,” Demeritt told the Bangor Daily News in an e-mail. “She worked more than full-time as the assistant to the policy director during our successful gubernatorial campaign and she is managing policy and constituent concerns during the transition.”

And, remember, she's a graduate of Florida State - helped by in-state tuition since her mother claims FL as her residence.

Lovely!
