Governor Janet Mills

It's irrational.

You know, my friends have said to me, you sure you want to do this?

And I say, I've got to, and yes, I will.

I've got to do it for the main people, the people of this country.

I would only serve one term.

That's a realistic expectation, and it's one I would certainly agree with.

Well, it's not me versus Graham Platner.

There is such energy out there.

I see it and I feel it every day when I walk down main streets of towns and cities across the state.

I feel this anger and this anxiety.

People come out in droves for no kings protests all over this state like they do all over the country.

There's that hunger for leadership, and I aim to address that by offering my candidacy.

we've we've run people against susan collins before and she has won she won handily the last few times and she won because we ran people who were untested okay um i don't know much of anything about graham platner i know a couple of the other guys who were running one of them is a brewer that's one reason i said i'd have a beer with them but listen um

I'm the only one in the race who's actually won an election, and that's important to have that under your belt.

I'm the only one in the race who's actually delivered progress for Maine people, expanding healthcare to 100,000 people in this state.

fully funding education, providing free school meals in all the public schools, providing free community college, two years of community college for all recent high school grads, you know, signing into law paid family medical leave, helping draft it and sign it into law.

These are huge things, and it's taken a lot of work, a lot of effort, and I have that experience.

So I'm the only one in the race who has stood up to Donald Trump.

Therefore, I think my candidacy is far different than anybody else's.

Gosh, we need to turn things around in Washington.
