Maine faces a lot of problems: the skyrocketing costs of food, utilities and gas, affordable housing, costly healthcare, enough skilled employees, few affordable childcare options and many worries about what this administration is doing to our rights, the environment and democracy.

Hannah Pingree is a lifelong Mainer who has addressed the serious impacts that the climate is having on our communities and our working waterfronts. She has supported innovation to help Maine address energy challenges and new technologies to grow Maine’s assets. She helped secure millions of dollars in grants to help fishermen and towns that were badly damaged in the 2023 and 2024 storms.

We need a governor like Hannah Pingree. She is a leader, a compassionate listener and a pragmatic problem-solver who has proven her effectiveness through a long record of wins for Maine.
