| Description | AUGUSTA — Senate President Elizabeth Mitchell, D-Vassalboro, filed paperwork Monday to run for governor, the second state senator in a week to announce a Blaine House bid.
Mitchell, 69, who in 1997 became the state's first female House Speaker, said she's ready to lead in the areas of energy, education and health care.
"Maine will lead in getting health costs under control, while providing access for all," she said in a statement. "Maine will lead in reinventing its farming and fishing and wood products industries to compete in the world economy."
With the announcement, Mitchell became the 15th person – and sixth Democrat – to announce a run for governor in the 2010 election. |
