Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love Gov. Janet Mills. I would put a statue of her up in Monument Square. But as an 80-year-old myself, I can say that she is too old to run for office. Please don’t bring up Bernie Sanders, who can stand for elder exceptionalism all by himself.
Let’s get a “young” person to run for office, like someone under the age of 60. We need a candidate who will remind us how old, out of touch and stuck in a rut Sen. Susan Collins is.
