Wife of Maine governor working as waitress
She may be the first lady of Maine, but at work, she's simply Ann, and she'll be happy to take your order.
The wife of America’s lowest-paid governor has taken a summer job as a waitress.
Ann LePage, wife of Maine Gov. Paul LePage, was discovered to be working as a waitress at McSeagull's, despite trying to keep a low profile.
The governor’s wife has a goal that many teenagers could relate to – she’s saving up money to buy a car. Ann LePage is seeking to purchase a Toyota RAV 4 with her waitress earnings.
The LePages’ daughter worked at the same restaurant last summer.
The salary for Maine’s governor is $70,000, far below the national average of $135,000.
Ann LePage told The Associated Press that waitressing was "something I've always, always wanted to do." Previously, Ann LePage had been a caregiver for her mother, who died in October after a long illness.
Locals seem impressed by Ann LePage’s work ethic, with one resident saying it “embraces the best of Maine.”
