Janet Mills, He's probably not going to fare well. She's been a good Governor for the state and was one of the Governors who told the rumpster to fuck off and found funding for SNAP in the state. We already have food banks in every small town.

She's going to win it even though I see a lot of yard signs for platner all over central Maine. She hasn't really started campaigning since she's busy with her current job and people are weary from all the politics of late.

Don't forget ranked choice voting which is what gave it to collins the last time.

I will be registered as a voter by the end of January and plan to make use of it at every opportunity. I have to establish a permanent residence, happens in a couple weeks, then change my ID to here and then I can register. Can hardly wait to have that all in place.

Oh, I agree. The choice between Platner and Mills is depressing. Mills only looks good in comparison to Platner Celerity 17 hrs ago #15
