Lucky to vote for Janet Mills

I have admired Janet Mills from afar for a number of years in her role as attorney general of Maine. She does her work with integrity, energy and grit. She has worked diligently to defend and protect Maine’s most vulnerable. She has a thoughtful, well-developed plan for how to move Maine forward in the future. […]

Mills will fight for what is best

Who is Janet Mills, really? Yes, she is a smart cookie, but what you might not know is that she is also caring and down to earth. She met me only once, yet two years later, she remembered my name and that I was substitute teaching at ELHS. She doesn’t miss a trick. A Mainer […]

Mills will lead on climate change

Climate change is affecting Maine, and not just on the coast where sea levels are rising. Janet Mills appreciates the overwhelming importance of this issue and proposes to wean Maine from its reliance on fossil fuels — the greatest source of greenhouse gases. That is good economic and environmental policy. In central Maine there are: […]

Janet Mills has the right qualities

As a former Auburn school counselor, in my mind a leader must demonstrate kindness, fairness and trustworthiness. I have watched as Janet Mills listens carefully to the people of Maine, and I know that she has all those qualities. Mills will effectively represent all the people while in Augusta. I will vote for Janet Mills […]

Mills will obey will of the voters

As a nurse practitioner, I hear the same stories every day. Whether retiree or full-time worker, insured or uninsured, patients all face the same problems: Drug prices are sky-high. Instead of taking what is best, they take what is affordable or nothing at all. Regular visits to their primary care providers are too expensive. They […]

Mills will address important issues

Conservative, progressive, liberal, moderate, independent — I am tired of labels. Maine needs a governor who is forward-thinking with solid Maine values — values rooted in history; someone who can wrap her head around the need for economic growth, health care for every Mainer, an educational system that is both excellent and affordable; an infrastructure […]
