He is respected for his knowledge, experience, intellect and life-long commitment to public service. Peter also brings the perspectives of a Navy Vietnam veteran and an employer in the private sector. Maine needs Peter Mills in the Blaine House!”

With a keen business perspective, a willingness to listen, and the ability to work with the Legislature, Peter Mills would make an outstanding Governor for Maine.”

“I have had the honor of working side by side with Peter in the Maine Legislature over the past four years. There is no one that throughly immerses himself in legislation with such passion and intensity as Peter. I have personally seen him address a particularly thorny and complex legislative issue, research it and come back in the next morning with a written piece of legislation that contains creative and solid solutions. He knows how Augusta works and has the experience and common sense solutions that can be put to work immediately upon taking office. Peter is an independent minded Republican and he never shies away from making what he thinks is the best decision for the State of Maine. It’s Time for Peter Mills as Governor!”

He chaired the Portland GOP City Committee long before he ever ran for office. He has gone canvassing door-to-door with Republican candidates across the state – whether candidates for town council or the state legislature. He has recruited business people like Tom Dunne to join the party and run for office. This is the kind of leadership the party needs.

“I really got to know Peter when I sat beside him in Taxation Committee. Not only is he brilliant, but he will take the time to answer everyone’s questions. We both knew then and know now that something has to be done with taxes in Maine. Peter always used a common sense approach to issues. His philosophy is my philosophy. Like Olympia Snowe, we’re moderate Republicans who would rather have a seat at the table to negotiate than simply stand aside and say, ‘No.’ Whether you agree with Peter or not you have to give him credit, he’s on the front lines fighting for sensible reform.”

It was his ‘Don’t Mortgage ME People’s Veto Campaign’ that forced the Democrats to back down on the sale of Maine’s lottery revenue even after they passed it. Peter has my vote on June 8th!”

“I know that Peter can start working immediately to turn the state around. He’s number one in my book because he will not need any on the job training.”

I support Mills for Governor, after serving two terms in The Maine Legislature with Peter, I am keenly aware of his ability to lead and his courage to make the right choices for The People of Maine.

Vote Peter Mills and win one for The State of Maine.”

“We are long-time admirers of Peter Mills and his work in the legislature. Peter is the most experienced Republican candidate and the most familiar with the laws and governance of Maine. He is uniquely able to blend opposing points of view and create a positive result. That’s the type of leadership our State needs. Peter has our vote on June 8th.”

” Maine has a unique opportunity to elect a gifted leader at a most critical time. Thoroughly prepared, an excellent communicator and consensus builder, with a keen intellect and the highest integrity, Peter will be ready on day one to tackle the many issues confronting our State.”
