On January 2, in front of a full auditorium at the Augusta Civic Center, Janet Mills was sworn in as Maine’s Governor. Mills, a Democrat from Farmington, is the first female to be elected to Maine’s highest office.

- Michael Sauschuck, Department of Public Safety

- Pender Makin, Department of Education
- Laura Fortman, Department of Labor
- Bruce Van Note, Maine Department of Transportation

The League extends our sincerest congratulations to Governor Mills and her executive cabinet. We look forward to collaborating with the Governor and her team on important policy initiatives that will help improve our state’s economic forecast and make Maine an even better place to live and work for our members.
