Janet Mills

Janet Mills, born on December thirtieth, nineteen forty-seven, is a prominent American lawyer and politician who has been serving as the seventy-fifth governor of Maine since two thousand nineteen. A dedicated member of the Democratic Party, Mills has a rich history in public service, having previously held the positions of both the fifty-fifth and fifty-seventh attorney general of Maine, as well as serving in the Maine House of Representatives.

Mills first entered the role of attorney general in two thousand nine, after being elected by the Maine Legislature. She held this position until two thousand eleven, and upon the Democrats regaining control of the legislature, she was re-elected in two thousand thirteen, serving three additional two-year terms. Her legal expertise and commitment to public service paved the way for her successful gubernatorial campaign in two thousand eighteen, where she triumphed over Republican Shawn Moody and independent Terry Hayes in a competitive primary.

In two thousand twenty-two, Mills was re-elected as governor, further solidifying her influence in Maine politics. On October fourteenth, two thousand twenty-five, she announced her candidacy for the two thousand twenty-six United States Senate election in Maine, aiming to secure the Democratic nomination to challenge the incumbent Republican Susan Collins.
