A Biddeford native and former Google executive has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat held by Susan Collins.

Ross LaJeunesse, 49, also served as senior adviser to former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Portland Press Herald reports LaJeunesse is running because he believes a lot of Mainers are being left behind and he wants to be a voice for them.

The democrat enters a primary race that includes Maine house speaker Sara Gideon, longtime progressive activist and lobbyist Betsy Sweet and defense attorney Bre Kidman.

LaJeunesse grew up on a farm in Arundel and graduated from Biddeford High School.
