Janet Mills has my vote, my support and my thanks for running for governor of Maine in these challenging and turbulent times. She is the perfect match for the job. She has the smarts, the experience, the strength and the vision needed at this important turning point for the state.

Mills loves Maine, respects the people and promises to be a strong and compassionate voice for our future.

I admire the way she has conducted her campaign — emphasizing the issues, sharing her personal story of raising a family and providing detailed plans to address both the problems of today and the challenges of the future.

Mills has listened to Mainers from all over the state, and she is ready to lead the state in a new and positive direction.

Voters could make the next four years the best and brightest for all Mainers by electing Janet Mills on Nov. 6.
