Elected Leaders across Maine Supporting Hannah for Governor
Hon. Linda Sanborn
“I spent decades caring for patients in Maine, and I know how much is at stake. Hannah Pingree shares that commitment to our communities. She listens, she understands, and she will fight to make care more affordable and reliable for the people who live here.”
Gordon H. Smith
- Former Executive Vice President, Maine Medical Association
“Maine’s next governor must understand both the policy and the people, someone who can bring clinicians, patients, and communities together to strengthen care, improve access, and make smart, sustainable investments. Hannah Pingree is the only candidate that has the vision, empathy, and experience to lead us forward.”
