John, I had an exciting weekend traveling around Maine and learning about what kind of leadership the people want in their next Governor. I’ve been thinking a lot about the conversations I had, and I wanted to share a few moments with you.

My first stop was Millinocket and East Millinocket, where I met with community and business leaders, toured former mill sites, and listened to important conversations about the future of the Katahdin region. We talked about how the state can be a supportive partner in supporting economic growth, improving education, and expanding access to health care in the region.

Next, I headed to Fort Fairfield for the Maine Potato Blossom Festival, where I had the honor of marching in the iconic parade alongside Governor Janet Mills and the Aroostook County Democrats. I was so grateful for the county’s warm welcome!

Every town, every community, every voter matters. That’s why I’m committed to visiting every corner of the state—to listen, learn, and build a campaign that reflects the voices of all Mainers.

Here’s what I’m hearing so far—from the housing crisis and rising costs to threats to our democracy, Mainers want leadership that will show up, speak out, and fight for them. That’s exactly why I’m running for Governor.

But I can’t do it alone. I need your help to stay on the road, reach every voter, and make sure no one is left behind.

Will you chip in $7 to my campaign?

Thank you,

Hannah Pingree
