Janet is still on the primary ballot! We don't need to "hold our noses" & vote for that guy. Let's show up and prove how awesome & informed Mainers are. Vote for Governor Mills! @janetmillsforme.bsky.social #Maine

I'm not going to "hold my nose" & vote for him. We can still vote for Governor Mills in the primary, & hope we can get her back in the race. #Maine
