9. I have enormous respect for Governor Mills

Thursday

She has intelligence and integrity and believes in public service. She was a steady leader through covid. I worked in state government under 5 governors, and she was the best, better even than the sainted Angus. I believe she ran because she thought she had a chance to beat Collins, who is a disgrace to our state. Public service.

She is ceding the field to Platner because he has the numbers, and there's no point in weakening him by fighting on, since getting rid of Collins is the goal.
