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 […]

Mills will follow the will of the people
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 […]

Strengthening schools a priority
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 […]
