I am writing to express my support for Janet Mills. As a physician, I have seen the effects of limited access to health care, inadequate reimbursements to local hospitals and the devastating effects of opioid dependency. Mills is the only candidate who has a viable plan to deal with those problems. Mills will follow the […]

Janet Mills personifies Maine
I met Janet Mills 45 years ago. I’ve danced at her wedding, shared her grief after we both lost our husbands and admired her as she has worked hard to make Maine a better place for all. She personifies Maine. There is no pretense; no hidden agenda. What you see is what you get. She […]

Mills supports the work force
The current unemployment rate is relatively low, but there are still many unemployed or underemployed Mainers. In 1998, Congress addressed this problem with state grants to provide local programs that help people gain the skills needed to reach their maximum potential within the work force. Maine’s share of funding in recent years has been approximately […]

Janet Mills knows what it takes
People should not be fooled by Terry Hayes and her television ads. She is a self-serving politician that Maine does not need. She has run her career as a Democrat and now as an independent. Janet Mills knows what it takes to be the governor of Maine and has proven it many times. I hope […]

Janet Mills will be a fierce advocate for education as Maine governor. As the state attorney general, Mills has directed funds to programs that benefit public school students in Maine. She has gone on the record pledging to fully fund education, which is especially important in a lower-income community such as Lewiston. As local Lewiston […]

In support of Golden and Mills
On Election Day, I will be supporting Jared Golden and Janet Mills. Golden is honest — a straight-shooter and likable. He has earned a great deal of respect by crossing party lines and, through teamwork, getting the job done — working with Gov. LePage toward securing veterans’ housing proves that. He is not against gun […]

Mills is the obvious choice
The contest for governor in Maine could not be more important. Janet Mills has expertly served as a county attorney, a legislator and as Maine’s attorney general. Mills is pro-education. While Shawn Moody may have expertly run several body shops, he has reportedly stated that Maine schools are overfunded. Maine voters have voted for increased […]

Janet Mills for governor
I have known Janet Mills since the 1980s when she ran for district attorney. I was the treasurer for one of her campaigns. She is a person who understands that laws must always be in the best interest of the people. As district attorney, she supervised many individuals and made sure that the cases that […]

Vote for the antidote — Janet Mills
Anyone who wants to turn the page on eight years of a Republican governor who bragged about being “Trump before Trump was Trump” should vote to replace him with Janet Mills, who will: • Fight for affordable health care. Reversing mean-spirited Republican policy, she will enforce the wishes of Maine voters by expanding Medicaid. • […]

Gun groups back Moody, but disagree over Mills' performance
Republican businessman Shawn Moody has won the endorsement of gun rights groups in the race to be Maine’s next governor, but the groups are at odds over Democrat Janet Mills’ performance in supporting their views on the Second Amendment. Mills, the state’s attorney general, received an F grade earlier this year from the political action […]
