“...I can’t sit on the sidelines while Donald Trump is hurting Maine families and driving our democracy into the ground…. I could never live with myself if I didn’t do everything in my power to stop Donald Trump’s far-right takeover.” - Governor Janet Mills Campaigning for US Senate
February 26, 2026, As the race for the Maine Senate heats up, you may notice an increase of emails, phone calls, etc. requesting donations to the campaigns of those running for office.
This morning, Janet Mills' campaign sent out one such message titled, “I’m Running to Defeat Susan Collins”.
In addition to the standard donation request, the message also outlined why Mills is running for Senate and how she will “do everything in [her] power to stop Donald Trump’s far-right takeover.”
Mills' donation request begins by stating, “Folks, I didn’t plan to run for Senate. But I could never live with myself if I didn’t do everything in my power to stop Donald Trump’s far-right takeover. Trump is putting Maine, our country and our democracy in danger every single day and Susan Collins isn’t doing a thing about it.”
The Governor then goes on to say, “Folks, I’m running because I love Maine with everything I’ve got. My family has called this great state home for eight generations. It's where my late husband and I raised our five daughters. And it’s where I’ve broken barriers as the first woman District Attorney, first woman Attorney General, and now as the first woman Governor.
I’ve fought – and won – a lot of battles to protect our health care, to protect access to abortion, to take on drug companies that fueled the opioid crisis, and to defend our state from Trump. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished.
But I can’t sit on the sidelines while Donald Trump is hurting Maine families and driving our democracy into the ground. Frankly, I couldn't live with myself if I didn’t do everything in my power to stand up for the people and state I love.”
Before concluding the message, Mills adds, “And folks, I'm the only Maine Democrat to win a statewide election in the last 20 years. So I’m running. And I’m going to fight like hell for Maine and for you.”
