I’ve known Janet Mills since 1976. She always checked the details to make sure nothing was overlooked. She sought individuals who had different views and would pursue to try to resolve any differences.

As governor, she had to make some difficult decisions pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. She consulted health professionals. Her decisions saved lives.

She delivered $850 relief checks directly to more than 850,000 Mainers. Many were seniors that live on their Social Security. She expanded Maine Care (Medicare), which provided coverage to an additional 90,000 Mainers.

She fully funded the state’s share of K-to-12 education for the first time in Maine history, while raising the minimum salary for the hardworking teachers across the state.

We the people need to re-elect Gov. Janet Mills for another four years in order to keep Maine moving forward.

I hope people join me in voting for Janet Mills for governor.
