We're just getting started.

Trump is cutting student loan debt relief at the federal level — making it harder for young people to get ahead. In Maine, I helped create one of the most generous relief programs in the country — and in the Senate, I’ll fight to bring that same relief to every American.

Trump says Americans are “doing well.” Maybe his billionaire friends and rich donors are — but Maine people are being crushed by the cost of health care, housing, groceries, and basic necessities. Mocking affordability won’t fix it. Real leadership will. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

For someone who says she's pro-choice, Susan Collins is failing women miserably. After confirming the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, she’s now voting for Trump’s extreme, anti-abortion judges like Robert Chamberlin. In the Senate, I’ll stand up to this agenda — not enable it.

Public service has never been about titles for me — it’s a lifelong commitment to listening to the people you represent, solving problems, and standing up for those who need a voice. That’s how I’ve always led, and it’s the same approach I’ll take with me to the Senate.

A little Maine music to wrap up the day — The Mallett Brothers Band never disappoints. 🎸

Today, Farmington celebrated one of our own — Chester Greenwood, who invented the earmuff at fifteen and built a business that reached far beyond Maine. Chester Greenwood Day brings out the best of our community every year, and it was wonderful to join the parade and festivities.

The Trump Administration's directive that will leave 1,200 people across Maine without housing is indefensible. This backward and cruel move should be reversed immediately. mainemorningstar.com/2025/11/17/m...

Nobody should have to choose between putting food on the table or paying their medical bills. Whether it's capping the cost of insulin or expanding access to health care, I'm fighting hard to lower health care costs for Maine families.

While Washington denies the reality of climate change, Maine will continue to prove what real climate leadership looks like — increasing energy efficiency, saving money, creating jobs, and protecting the state we love.

Thank you to Christopher Barr for his thoughtful op-ed in today's Portland Press Herald. Mainers deserve leaders who listen, lead with a steady hand, and deliver real results — and I'm grateful for his confidence in my record and vision for the future. www.pressherald.com/2025/12/01/j...

I’m Janet Mills — a lifelong Mainer who’s spent my career standing up to bullies and fighting for the people they try to push aside. I’m running to bring steady, practical problem-solving to the U.S. Senate and put Maine people at the center of every decision, every day.

I’ve dedicated my life to protecting Maine people — as District Attorney, as Attorney General, as Governor, and next, as Senator. I cannot — and will not — sit idly by while Maine people are hurt. I will continue to fight.

When health care tax credits expire, it’s working people who pay the price. Maine deserves leadership that protects affordable health care — not let premiums soar because of inaction. www.pressherald.com/2025/11/24/m...

Wishing everyone across Maine a happy Thanksgiving. As we take time to appreciate life’s blessings, I’m grateful for this beautiful state and the wonderful people who call it home.

Grateful to spend some time ahead of Thanksgiving volunteering at Preble Street’s Food Security Hub. Maine people always show up for one another – and that’s something I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving.

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 race—together.

Never a dull moment at a UMaine game! Very cool to meet Trevor, Jamil, and Mike—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.

Thanks for your support, Liz! I won’t let you down. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/11/12/o...

Let me make something very clear — 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.

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.

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. www.wabi.tv/2025/11/11/m...

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 state—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 — not just the promise of a vote that won’t go anywhere. Fight back.

The dysfunction in Washington is so extreme, they can't seem to get two things done in one month—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!

Huge turnout at the Sagadahoc County Democrats Harvest Dinner this weekend! Folks are fired up to protect Maine voting and vote NO on Question 1!

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 anyone—especially Donald Trump—stand in the way of this essential lifeline for families across our state.

It’s always a good night when spent with friends celebrating a Hearts win. On to the semifinals! ❤️🌲

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.

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 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 Maine—from expanding health care to fully funding schools to making record investments in housing. www.pressherald.com/2025/10/30/j...

If standing up for Maine makes me Trump’s nemesis, then so be it. I’ve never backed down from a bully—and I’m not going to start now.

"Maine needs a senator who will vote for Maine...who sticks to their principles, never forgetting the people that they work for." I agree. I'll always do what’s right for Maine people—just like I’ve always done. Thank you for your support, Adam. www.pressherald.com/2025/10/29/j...

From investing in child care, housing, and broadband, to providing free community college, to helping families fight inflation, I’ve spent my life delivering for Maine people.

I’m taking the fight to Susan Collins and Donald Trump. I’ve won statewide twice before, and I’m going to win again.

Republicans in Congress are hurting families across the state because they’re choosing to shut down the government rather than extend the health care tax credits so many Maine people rely on.

I was honored to attend the Equality Community Center's annual Rainbow Affair this month. I'm proud of the work my administration has done to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people in Maine. There is still so much to do, but you can always count on me to stand up for what's right.
