What hubris by Janet Mills. We are way, way, way overdue for younger leadership. Not just in Maine, either. No more out of the Boomer (& older) generation. NO.
Janet Mills has announced a run for U.S. Senate. If elected, she would be 85 at the end of her first time.
If you care about democracy, generational renewal, and leadership that actually serves working people—You should want new leadership in Graham Platner.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.
It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.
Thank you, Governor!
