Sometimes Angus may have acted like one, but he is popular. I suspect any altered campaign signs strengthened his voter base. And, while he's a reverse carpetbagger from Virginia, he handily wins elections here, running as an independent candidate. Our first Governor was Wiliam King, a local boy.
Then, we have Steven King. I'd say that Steven is the king of his style of horror and suspense fiction. Financially, he has done very well, both with his books, and in dealing with the movie people. I think that most of his "The Shining" was filmed in the UK.
Plus, he's remained true to his roots. He still lives in Maine, and has supported many local charities.
