Maine lobsterman to address GOP convention as Trump bets big on iconic industry

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 23, 2020

Eighth-generation lobsterman Jason Joyce of Swan’s Island will address the Republican National Convention on Tuesday as President Donald Trump prioritizes Maine and its most iconic industry in an election year. Maine is one of two states that split presidential electors by congressional district. Trump lost the Democratic-leaning state in 2016, but won the more conservative 2nd Congressional District and is making a large play here in a repeat bid.
