I would like to announce my support for state Sen. Peter Mills.
A native of Farmington, Mills served honorably in the United States Navy from 1965 to 1970. Graduating second in the Maine Law School class of 1973, he has been the manager of his own law firm since 1982.
Mills has served the people of Maine in the state Legislature since 1996, participating in and chairing a host of committees. His fiscally conservative principles are highlighted by his 1999 campaign with the Labor Committee to overhaul Maine’s dubious unemployment compensation system, among several other initiatives.
Mills is a fiscally conservative, socially moderate Yankee Republican who is not prone to ideological culture wars.
He believes in a healthy balance between economic development and environmental conservation. Republican success in Maine depends on crossover appeal, and I know Mills is that candidate.
