By Elizabeth Prata

Gray -- Chris Miller of Gray, an active Democrat, has thrown his hat in the ring for Governor. The field widened last week with several other candidates also announcing they want a shot at the Blaine House and in governing New England’s largest state, including incumbent John Baldacci. The Miller campaign Treasurer is Gray resident Sharon Bondroff.

Chris Miller moved to Gray in 1984. Mr. Miller has two teenage sons, a small business as an Internet Service Provider in Gray, and likes to garden.

The Monument telephoned Mr. Miller for comment, but was disconnected
instead of put on hold. When calling back, Mr. Miller’s secretary said that Mr. Miller would not speak with us because he was not ready to discuss his candidacy with any newspapers yet.

There are three Democrats running for Governor, and three Republicans, prompting a primary in each party, which will be held on June 13, 2006. The General Election will be November 7, 2006.

Rep. Mark Bryant (D-Windham) is running for another term. He represents District 110, part of Gray and part of Windham. His Treasurer is Donnell Carroll of Gray.
