America is at a crisis point – and every single day Donald Trump and Susan Collins plunge us further into chaos and hurt more Maine people.

We cannot afford to lose this election. I'm the only Maine Democrat to win statewide in 20 years – I know how to win and next year, I will.

Proud to join Maine’s hospitality leaders at the Hospitality Maine Summit this past Monday.

Our hospitality industry is an integral part of our economy – and I’m grateful to the hardworking folks who keep it strong, season after season.

I’m the granddaughter of potato farmers from Aroostook County and the daughter of a World War II veteran and a public school teacher. Maine values are in my bones.

And we’re going to win this raceβ€”together.

Never a dull moment at a UMaine game! Very cool to meet Trevor, Jamil, and Mikeβ€”proud UMaine grads who went on to play in the NFL (and even win a few Super Bowls)!

The idea that ending the shutdown on a promise of a discussion of a vote doesn’t mean much to the people of Maine. Getting it done does. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

I love Maine and its people. That's why as governor, I expanded health care to more than 100,000 people, guaranteed free school meals for children, protected abortion access, provided free community college, and more.

I'm proud to bring that same fight to the Senate.

Opinion: I’m all in on Janet Mills for US Senate "The governor has proven tireless in her work on behalf of all Mainers and she has been a strong and effective governor who embodies our Democratic values."

Thanks for your support, Liz! I won’t let you down.

Let me make something very clear β€” Susan Collins is contributing to skyrocketing health care costs for families across Maine. It’s reckless and just plain wrong.

We will vote her out in 2026.

The government shutdown was an example of just how cruel Republicans could be to deny health care and take away food from hungry families. While the shutdown is over, the dysfunction in Trump's Washington remains. Congress must extend the ACA tax credits now.

13.11.2025 23:32 β€” πŸ‘ 67    πŸ” 25    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

The people of Maine are dealing with skyrocketing health care costs on top of increased grocery prices on top of housing on top of more expensive car repairs thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Maine people can’t afford Donald Trump and Susan Collins.

Mainers protest outside office of Sen. Collins following vote to reopen the government without ACA funds Demonstrators say they are worried about the impact higher insurance premiums would have on thousands of Mainers.

Maine people are not a political bargaining chip. These are real families whose lives depend on affordable health coverage. Susan Collins’ vote against extending the ACA tax credits is a betrayal of hardworking Maine families.

On Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank those who have served in the Armed Forces, like my father and brother.

Maine has one of the highest numbers of veterans per capita of any stateβ€”a reflection of our long and proud history of service. Thank you to those who’ve served.

Thank you Franklin County Dems for having me last night. Everywhere I go, I hear from people worried about putting food on the table or skyrocketing health care costs.

Maine deserves better than what we're getting out of DC. I'll fight with all I've got to make sure we get it.

Tens of thousands of Maine people are facing skyrocketing health care costs because of Donald Trump and Susan Collins.

Maine people deserve affordable health care β€” not just the promise of a vote that won’t go anywhere.

Fight back.

Governor Janet Mills says members of Congress should forfeit paychecks amid government shutdown SEARSPORT -- As of Wednesday, the Federal government shutdown has become the longest in history as the standoff continues in Washington over health insurance subsidies.

The dysfunction in Washington is so extreme, they can't seem to get two things done in one monthβ€”extend the tax credits and pass the continuing resolution.

Let America go to work again. And if they can't get this done, they should go without pay. www.foxbangor.com/news/governo...

Republicans in Congress are creating an unnecessary crisis. They control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Fund SNAP. Extend health care tax credits. End the shutdown now.

Congratulations to my good friends @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for their historic wins last night! Your campaigns have been inspiring, and I know both of you will serve your states with strength, courage, and conviction.

Next year's election is one of the most important moments in our nation's history. We are in urgent, dangerous times. Donald Trump isn't just taking a wrecking ball to the White House, he's taking a wrecking ball to the Constitution and our democracy.

I won't let that happen.

If you're an older Mainer or a single parent, someone with a disability, or someone with a busy schedule, Question 1 would only make it harder for you to cast your vote.

That's why I voted no on Question 1 today!

In exactly one year, we are going to defeat Susan Collins, win this race, and flip this Senate seat.

Whether you vote in person on Election Day or by absentee ballot you can trust that your vote will be counted fairly.

Maine is proud to lead the nation in voter participation. Let’s not make that harder for Maine people. Vote NO on Question 1 to save absentee voting.

Thanks to our hard work, Maine was one of the first states in the country to guarantee free school meals for children. I won't let anyoneβ€”especially Donald Trumpβ€”stand in the way of this essential lifeline for families across our state.

This should go without saying, but let's not make it harder for Maine people to exercise their right to vote.

Thanks to all the volunteers on the doors this weekend encouraging voters to reject Question 1 at the ballot box on Tuesday.

It’s not right. It’s not necessary. But, together, we can change it next November.

Over 50,000 people in Maine will see their average costs more than double and about 8,000 will lose their health insurance altogether. These are our friends and neighbors who simply won’t be able to afford the lifesaving care they need for peace of mind and financial stability.

01.11.2025 18:22 β€” πŸ‘ 43    πŸ” 11    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

Today, as ACA open enrollment officially begins, hardworking people all across our state are beginning to receive notices that their health insurance costs will soar next year because Republicans in Congress, including Susan Collins, have not taken action.

I believe that all people deserve a roof over their heads, which is why my Administration has made the largest investment in housing in Maine history.

Janet Mills brings the legal acumen Maine needs | Opinion Our governor has the wealth of experience needed to hit the ground running in Washington during this pivotal time. That's why she has my vote.

"Janet Mills conveyed the gravity of the moment...and said she’d hit the ground running. That gets my vote."

Thanks, Debra. I've spent my life fighting for Maineβ€”from expanding health care to fully funding schools to making record investments in housing. www.pressherald.com/2025/10/30/j...
