Owen McCarthy, an Maine entrepreneur, has declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. He sat down with Matt Gagnon to discuss his background, campaign, and his vision for Maine’s future.
Owen is originally from Patten, and describes himself as the son of “a third-generation logger and a second-generation lunch lady.” He is a University of Maine graduate, and is the co-founder of MedRhythms, a company pioneering FDA-approved technology to help people regain mobility after a stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease.
We discuss his backstory, what motivated him to run for governor, and what he wants to do as governor to make permanent change in Maine.
