All politics is local for Janet Mills. She knows that as Governor of Maine she must be involved at the community level throughout our state, that she must know all of our needs, and understand our problems; that she must create opportunities and jobs, reduce health care costs, ensure adequate funding for public schools, and fight to solve the opioid crisis. Janet has accepted this tall order and welcomes the challenge. She has the experience and drive to make it happen.

I speak for many in our mid-coast communities when I say that she is not only the best candidate, but also the most qualified and most dedicated to serving the needs and interests of Mainers. Janet is a lifelong resident with a distinguished law career in both the public and private sectors. She’s been a loving full-time mom to five children who weren’t her own, and now a grandmother to four more. Having grown up in a strong Republican family, she understands the issues important to constituents on both sides of the political fence. She knows how to bring people together to resolve differences.

Janet Mills will be the Governor for all of us. Please stand with her on November 6.
