Press Herald interviews Brewer on Gov. Mills’ possible future in politics
The Portland Press Herald interviewed Mark Brewer, chair and professor of political science at the University of Maine, on Gov. Janet Mills potentially running for a seat in the U.S. Senate during the 2026 election, when her second term as governor will end. “I think it makes perfectly good sense for Mills for a variety of reasons to keep that space open,” Brewer said. “Her not saying ‘no’ — that probably causes any other Democrat who was thinking about it to take a step back.”
