I am a life-long Mainer and Republican. I am a deputy district attorney and have worked as a prosecutor in Maine’s court system for the past 27 years. During that time, I have come to know and respect Peter Mills, not only as an attorney, but also as a legislator and, most importantly, as a leader for Maine.

I know that Peter fully understands the issues that are most important to law enforcement and the victims of crime. As a prosecutor, I appreciate that Peter Mills has been a voice of reason when the most important issues in the criminal justice system have been presented to the Maine Legislature.

The people of Maine must have a governor who will unite us and lead us in difficult times. Peter Mills is the candidate that we need. Peter Mills will be the governor that we deserve.
