Mills receives tribal elder's personal endorsement in race for governor
https://www.pressherald.com/2018/10/23/letter-to-the-editor-mills-receives-tribal-elders-personal-endorsement-in-race-for-governor/I am Donna Loring, a Penobscot Nation tribal elder. I represented the Penobscot Nation in the state Legislature for over a decade.
This choice is a major one for me. I have researched all of the gubernatorial candidates. I have concluded that Democrat Janet Mills is by far the best choice to be the governor for all of Maine. (This is my personal endorsement and not the endorsement of the tribes.)

There are two independents in this race. Please do not repeat what happened with Eliot Cutler. It is too important for the future of the tribes and the future of Maine. A vote for the independents is a vote for Shawn Moody.
It’s about character, honesty, integrity, trust, strong leadership. Janet fulfills all of those.
Janet will be a governor we can be proud of. She will be a governor for all of Maine.
