Your editorial in the Oct. 10 paper (“Our View: Boycott no way to react to Collins vote,” Page A6) hits the nail right on the head as to why we have to vote for Democrat Janet Mills for governor. Janet Mills is the only major-party candidate committed to expanded health care, and she has stated […]

I’m a 29-year-old social worker who’s worried about Maine’s future. I believe that our democracy works when we vote for whom we want in the office.

After 14 years teaching high school English, two years running a nonprofit for at-risk youth, three years as a higher-education administrator and now as a doctoral student at the Muskie School for Public Service, I am writing to express my passionate support for Democrat Janet Mills for governor.

I experienced a similar assault by a man I trusted; since we were the only two present, there were no witnesses, and I told no one at the time except my minister.
