Brunswick – Today, Bruce Poliquin, candidate for Maine Governor, received the endorsement of Vincent P. Veroneau, President and CEO of J.B. Brown & Sons, one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the greater Portland area. Veroneau has been involved in the real estate business for more than 20 years, taking over at J.B. Brown in 2005.  In a statement, Veroneau expressed great confidence in Poliquin’s qualifications to lead Maine.
