Iraq War Veteran and Possible Congressional Candidate Visits SoPo Dems

Adam Cote has served his country in Iraq as an officer in Maine’s 133rd Engineer Battalion of the National Guard. Now he may be ready to serve Maine’s first congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Colby graduate and Pierce Atwood attorney has formed an exploratory committee for Maine’s First Congressional District seat. If, as expected, Rep. Tom Allen makes a run in 2008 for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Susan Collins, Cote hopes to be in a position to make a strong run for the Democratic nomination for Congress.
