Republican Peter Mills reports today that he is the first gubernatorial candidate from either party to raise the contributions necessary to qualify under Maine’s new and more stringent Clean Election law. Mills’ campaign is the first in history to collect 3,250 $5 donations to the Maine Clean Election Fund and to raise $40,000 in donations of $100 or less from Maine voters. The campaign is now able to focus solely on listening to Mainers’ concerns and promoting Mills’ message of fiscal responsibility and government reform.

With nearly 2,000 contributions from Maine residents, Mills’ support extends across all of Maine’s sixteen counties and equally represents the northern and southern districts.
I am running for Governor to fix state government and rebuild Maine’s economy. Throughout my 15 years of service in the state legislature I’ve sounded the fiscal alarm that we are now hearing loud and clear.

Now more than ever we need an accountable government, one that measures the results of the services it delivers.
