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: […]
Moody camp doubts poll showing Mills with 8-point lead in governor's race
A new online poll suggesting that Democrat Janet Mills is leading Republican Shawn Moody by 8 percentage points in the race to be Maine’s next governor came under fire from Moody’s campaign. The poll of 500 likely voters statewide by Portland-based Pan Atlantic Research was conducted the first week in October. It found that 44.4 […]
Janet Mills has what is needed
I write in support of Janet Mills for governor. I support her because she has acted with consistent integrity and wisdom as attorney general of Maine, in the face of constant belittling and attacks from the current governor. I have no doubt that integrity in that position will translate to integrity as governor. I support […]
LePage appealing lawsuit against Mills to Maine Supreme Judicial Court
Gov. Paul LePage will appeal a judge’s decision that Attorney General Janet Mills did not exceed her authority by joining a lawsuit in defense of protections for young undocumented immigrants. Mills joined California and other states in September 2017 in a legal challenge to the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or […]
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 […]
Mills has a plan that fits for Maine
I have known Janet Mills for a long time. As the attorney general, she runs one of the largest employers in the state — and oversees staff across Maine. She knows how to run a large entity. She knows how to budget on a state-wide scale and she knows how to work with folks from […]
