Jeanne's Cookies: my roots run deep

my roots run deep

My roots run deep.

My mom's parents toiled in the fields of Aroostook County, harvesting potatoes with dirt under their fingernails. My dad's parents come from a long line of granite carvers in Stonington.

My dad served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and taught me the value of hard work from an early age. My mom taught high school English for 35 years and showed me how powerful words are.

Above all else, my family taught me to fight for the great state of Maine and its people. In my years of public service, I have always believed this: that you – Maine people – are our greatest asset.

That's why I'm running for Senate. Because Mainers deserve a leader willing to fight for them no matter what. Split a donation between my campaign and Off the Sidelines now to help me.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Janet Mills and Off the Sidelines PAC will go through immediately:

My father always told me, "You've got to stand up to bullies. If you don't, they'll never stop."

That's what I've done my whole life and I don't plan on stopping now.

Thank you,

Janet
