The challenges here in Houlton — the closure of the birthing center, the reduction in workforce at a critical moment, and the refusal to engage in a fair contract that supports nurses and safe patient-nurse ratios — is indicative of some…

Former secretaries of state
You want somebody in that office who can lead, and there’s nobody better prepared to be lieutenant governor than myself.
We take the integrity of the petitions just as seriously as we take the security of voting. It's really important that anyone seeking to place a initiative on the ballot follow the law.
Unfortunately, in this case, at least two out-of-state circulators failed to follow Maine law, and that is why their petitions have been invalidated.
Citizen initiatives are direct democracy. Just as we take voting security seriously, we take petition integrity seriously.
If the DOJ wants to sue us over that, we’ll see them in court. And we will win just like we did [Thursday.]
We don’t have secret police in a democracy, and covert civil immigration enforcement is not something Maine will facilitate.
Let me say this loud and clear, I will always choose to do what’s right for the people of Indiana and no political pressure or politically motivated attacks on me or my office will persuade me from doing what’s right, not now, not ever.
This is nothing more than political retribution for me standing with our great President against those who fiercely opposed him.
I helped pass ranked choice voting so you’d have this power. Use it.
I know Hannah and Troy well, and I know that we share the same commitment to progressive change for the people of Maine.
Let me clear – Trump and the DOJ may continue to try to interfere with free and fair elections run by the states. We will not let them.
The decision belongs in the hands and only the hands of Republican convention delegates and I’m confident I’ll be renominated.
Delegates will decide who will be the Republican nominee for Indiana Secretary of State.
Every agency needs to be looking at how can we do this better and get rid of that mess.
Sometimes it actually gets done. Sometimes it just absolutely gets lost.
I just wish those folks in Washington DC could talk a little bit nicer to each other and actually get something accomplished for the rest of us.
At the end of the day, I know it was a free and fair election tonight.
Tonight, everyone that won, won, and everyone that lost, lost. There’s no doubt in my mind.
This is my duties, my responsibilities, and I will be chairing the Recount Commission.
We’ve been preparing for this, just in case.
Will not let this order stand without a fight and will meet the federal government in court.
Nothing more than a push to weaponize the sensitive personal information of voters in this country
