I support Peter Mills and here’s a reason why:
I met him the first year he ran for Senate when his father insisted that he handle my Alaskan maritime injury case. Throughout the next four years, I would occasionally run into him in Augusta and I was struck by how excited he was to be serving his district and how genuinely he loved doing the people’s business.
He and I have lives that are worlds apart, yet whenever we run into each other, I feel as though I’m speaking to an old friend who sincerely cares about what’s going on in my life and that my opinion is important to him. He has a way of connecting with empathy to people, no matter what walk of life they travel and it’s the biggest reason, among many, why I feel he would make a fantastic governor.
