A message from Governor Janet Mills
This pandemic has shown us that we are stronger than we ever imagined. As the storm of the pandemic endures, with peaks and valleys to come, my pledge to the people of Maine is this: that we will work day and night to make vaccines and tests accessible to all; to keep our children safe in their schools; to work in close partnership with our health care systems, ensuring critical care for all those who need it, and not just those with COVID; and to keep our businesses open and thriving and our economy moving forward.
