Vice President J.D. Vance will be in Maine again next week.

The Bangor Daily News reports that Vance will be in Brewer on Monday to speak at CompoTech, a University of Maine spin-off company which builds structures for the defense industry.

A notice sent to Maine Republicans did not include details about what Vance will be speaking out.

He was last in Maine in May, when he voiced support for Paul LePage’s congressional campaign and accused Gov. Janet Mills of failing to crack down on Medicaid fraud.
