Hannah Pingree is the right choice to be Maine’s next governor. She has shown strong leadership on one of the issues most important to Maine families: making healthcare more affordable and accessible.
As a retired family physician and former state senator, I have seen how policy decisions affect patients, families and communities. Maine needs a governor who understands that healthcare is personal. Pingree listens to patients, providers and employers, and understands the impact when care is out of reach.
Pingree will invest in working families, rural healthcare, mental health services and public health infrastructure. She was the first gubernatorial candidate to propose a public option plan, an important step toward universal coverage.
As speaker of the House, and later leading Maine’s Office of Innovation and the Future, Pingree showed she can bring people together and deliver results. Join me in ranking Hannah Pingree No. 1 for governor in June.
