Governor Mills in her weekly radio address, is urging the people of Maine to reject Question 1 on the November 4th ballot, saying the proposal would make it harder for many Mainers to exercise their right to vote.

Mills says "Maine is proud to lead the nation in voter participation because of our long history of safe and secure elections. Whether you vote in person or by absentee ballot, you can trust that your vote will be counted fairly. But that fundamental right to vote is under attack from Question 1."

The Governor noted that while proponents claim the ballot measure would make elections more secure, it would instead make it harder for seniors, people with disabilities, rural residents, first responders, and workers with unpredictable schedules to vote by banning pre-paid return postage for absentee ballots, even when towns choose to provide it, prohibiting voters from requesting absentee ballots by phone or through family members, ending ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and voters with disabilities, and limiting the number of secure ballot drop boxes that municipalities may use.

We'll hear excepts of the governor's remarks at the top of each hour Saturday morning on 99-5 WCME!

Governor Mills is about to begin a campaign for the U-S Senate seat now held by Susan Collins and will launch next Tuesday.

This according to an internal team document obtained by the national political news website Axios.

Mills has been acting like a candidate but also said last month that she wouldn’t decide until November.

The governor has been heavily pressured by national Democrats to make the race against Collins, a five-term incumbent considered vulnerable because of low approval ratings.

So far no comment from Mills on the Axios report, and if she runs, her path to a possible Democratic nomination will be considerably more complicated than what she might have envisioned just six months ago.

For one thing, she'll face an energized campaign from Graham Platner, an oyster farmer from Hancock County.

Other candidates include Dan Kleban of Cumberland, the co-founder of the Maine Beer Company in Freeport, Jordan Wood, a former congressional staffer from Bristol; Daira Smith-Rodriguez, a former Air Force civilian contractor from Biddeford; and two Brunswick candidates, Tucker Favreau and David Costello.

Also joining the race is Independent Phil Rench of Waterboro, a former senior engineer for Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Additionally, it still isn't clear if Collins will make the race--she has so far made no declaration of candidacy.
