During #BlackHistoryMonth we'll be celebrating the achievements of 8 Maine trailblazers shaping the history of our state! These leaders stand out for their advocacy, civic engagement, & public service, and are a part of the many contributions & long history of black Mainers.

Judge Jackson is a nominee worthy of Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence and decency. She’s eminently qualified and a brilliant legal mind — with the utmost character and integrity.

America stands up to bullies. We stand up for freedom.

That’s who we are.

Maine stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in the face of this abhorrent, unprovoked assault on their country, their freedom, and their lives. 1/

The pride Gov. Mills has for her expanding Medicaid on day 1 of her governorship is palpable. Nearly 60% of Maine people voted for expansion at the ballot but LePage blocked it. Would he try to rescind it if he was re-elected? #mepolitics

My wife hasn’t had to buy cereal for her classroom since universal free breakfast was implemented #mepolitics

Sad to watch the #MaineRepublicanLegislatores reject Governor Janet Mills #debtfreecommunitycollege and #OpportunityMaine debt-relief for Maine students. #mepolitics #MaineLifers #voteblue

Governor Mills just outlined our state’s new bipartisan plan to make Maine the home of the leading student debt relief program in the nation. That’s leadership. #mepolitics

$12 million to increase pay for child care workers. #mepolitics

In her #StateoftheState , Governor Janet Mills wants to give Mainers half of the $800M surplus; invest in childcare for working parents. #mepolitics #MaineLifers #voteblue

Good news! To help offset rising costs Mainers are facing, Governor Mills is proposing to send direct relief checks of about $500 to back to the people of Maine. #mepolitics

That's leadership. #mepolitics

Dr. @nirav_mainecdc & Maine Public deserve huge kudos for today’s Maine Calling. They offered an opp for those not yet vaccinated to pose their concerns/hesitations & to have a respectful dialogue.

The power of talking to each other rather than past each other. Take a listen:
