Yesterday at a campaign rally, Paul LePage attempted to explain his platform and answer very simple questions from the press about his “plans” for Maine. It did not go well.
In last Thursday’s State of the State address, Governor Janet Mills made headlines when she announced her plan to provide two years of free community college tuition to students from high school classes which have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to Paul LePage submitting signatures to get on the ballot as a candidate for Governor, Maine Democratic Party Chair Drew Gattine released the following statement:
In 2016, while embroiled in fights with both the legislature and national press, then-Governor Paul LePage declined to deliver a State of the State address and instead sent lawmakers a letter decrying his opponents as “socialist politicians.”

Over the weekend, the Portland Press Herald released a report detailing how Maine’s Department of Labor (MDOL) under Governor Janet Mills has ramped up its efforts to protect Maine workers from wage theft, child labor, and hour violations.
Yesterday, Governor Mills unveiled new legislation to protect Maine ratepayers, improve the operation and service of Maine’s electric utilities, and increase oversight and accountability of them.
Last month, Governor Mills took yet another step to build more housing and make it more affordable for Mainers when she announced a $50 million investment in housing construction through the Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan.
