3. Mills would leave an empty seat for Dems to hold in 2032. That’s not as bad as a midterm year (2030), but it would take away the incumbency advantage from a candidate trying desperately to hold a swing state in a traditionally unfavorable point in the electoral cycle
#MEpolitics
2. Mills would be a (mostly reliable) backbench vote, but lacking any electoral pressure she would be free to use her leverage to block or move legislation to the right. She has attempted to move left to court primary voters, but it may ring hollow given her long legislative history.
#MEpolitics
1. Mills will be unable to build senate seniority (e.g. Schumer or Collins), or develop a national profile (e.g. Warren or Sanders), muting her ability to pass signature legislation or push specific issues to the front of the public conversation
#MEpolitics
Janet Mills attempts to deflect criticism of her age by invoking that of Warren and Sanders, but the comparison is weak as they aged into their roles.
Mills’ promise of a single term carries with it three major risks:

And now more on Fetterman from Platner. Pretty good answer. #MEpolitics
More lies & slander from Platner the cosplay grifter while ppl clutch their pearls because Mills shared his LITERAL quotes a few times.
DSA, come get your alt-left LePage and leave real Mainers, like Janet Mills alone.
(Are women EVER allowed to stick up for themselves or nah?)

Dearest Governor,
I humbly request the immediate shipment of whoopie pies to the masses.
Maine decadence is a public good.
Ployes may be deployed in emergencies.
Ever a Mainer,

Maine showing the way with first of its kind AI moratorium.
Call and email Janet and urge her to sign it, not veto it.
"Do the right thing, Janet!"

Shenna Bellows, Maine's Sec'y of State and gubernatorial candidate, has really been making the rounds of public appearances and forums.
This was today's Somerset County Dems Saturday at the Forum. An afternoon with the five democratic candidates for Governor.

Maine has such an engaged population when it comes to resisting (one of the most engaged in America), that middle school students are staging walkouts in protest.

FEC transaction detail for Susan Collins's leadership PAC's contribution to the Cumberland County Republican Committee.
What is the relation between this committee and the county committee? Any idea? Or are they completely independent?
Susan Collins gave $2,500 to the Cumberland County committee just a few weeks ago. #MEpolitics
Oooo this is lovely. Get it out 💙

Feel free to block me over my rejecting & contextualizing your pro GOP JimCrow/KKK Paul LePage R-ME 2026 rants.
Screen grabs of your pro GOP nonsense.
#MEpolitics
The alt-left LePage (Platner) is nothing different.
It’s just left wing America First nationalism.
He is
- rich
- a nepo baby
- DC educated
- pro-military industrial complex
- nationalist
- well connected to Silicon Valley & politicos
- racist, sexist idiot w/entitlement issues

Platner will say ANYTHING to win. Pay attention.

Platner is going to flood the internet with lies about Janet Mills again.
Get the truth out! & donate — he is rich, she is not. @janetmillsforme.bsky.social

SHE doesn’t say anything about a bulldozer here —- you are just straight up lying, which seems to be the Platner campaign’s tactic —- flood the airwaves with nonstop lies and the press can’t keep up.
Very Trump —- vote Janet Mills for Maine & keep Trump out of Maine.

Graham Platner tweet: We don't need another Fetterman in the Senate.
Ha. Opening bid from Platner. #MEpolitics
“things that have happened in Gaza are also horrific & unnecessary & cruel,” Mills said. “I think bombing civilian facilities of any sort is a violation of international law, & that leaving children starving in the streets is inhumane & a violation of international law“

“I believe the Palestinian people and the Israeli people deserve a safe place to live in security without terrorist actions. I think that many people disagree with a lot of the things that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu has done.”

Pretty sure "Who's more likely to vote like Fetterman?" isn't how most Mainers are thinking about the ME-Sen primary...
...but it'd be great all the same to see Mills/Platner compete to convince voters that THEY'RE the one less likely to go rogue or become an obstacle to Dem priorities. #MEpolitics

I strongly oppose Maine’s pending transgender referendum - which targets and demonizes vulnerable children for political reasons. It’s important to always combat discrimination in any form and wherever it’s found to exist. #MEpolitics
