Governor Janet Mills

Well, I'm fighting to fully fund, and I'm the first governor who has fully funded public education in Maine ever.

and increasing, improving scholastic achievement by our students.

This is Linda McMahon, who appears to think that AI is a steak sauce.

I think I saw her on TV on a panel.

She said, every child should have A1 from kindergarten on up.

That was kind of astonishing.

So there are a lot of votes I disagree with.

It's a fair point, and it's a legitimate consideration.

God knows it's a consideration for me and has been these many months I've been thinking about it, and people have been urging me to run, regardless of my age.

But you know what?

I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't do everything I can to reverse what's going on in Washington, things that are harming Maine people,

Sure, I could go, you know, I'm not a rich person by any means, but I could just retire, go to my camp and fish and read books for the rest of my life, I guess.

But boy, I couldn't live with myself if I did that.

Not when the times are so urgent, so dangerous, and things are happening that are threatening the health and welfare of Maine people every day.

I can't live with that.

And so I have the energy and the time and I wanna give it my best shot.

And that's what I'm going to do.

I'm not untested.

We've run people against Susan Collins before.

And I know there are five or six guys in the race right now in this primary.
