Maine Gov. Mills Promises Smooth Transition, Gives Governor-Elect Pingree a Maine-Shaped Necklace
AUGUSTA, Maine — Gov. Janet Mills met Governor-elect Hannah Pingree in the Cabinet Room of the governor's office on November 6, promising a smooth transition for the incoming administration and support on major decisions such as the budget.
In the Cabinet Room, Mills presented Pingree with a necklace bearing a pendant in the shape of Maine, and the two then met reporters together in the governor's office. Mills, 78, noted during the meeting that the November 3 elections brought the number of Democratic governors to its highest level in 20 years.
Pingree defeated two other candidates on November 3 with nearly 55 percent of the vote and will be sworn in on January 6, 2027, becoming Maine's second woman governor after Mills. Both said the new administration faces a difficult budget season, along with pressure from federal cuts to food assistance and Medicaid. Democrats will hold majorities in both the Maine House and Senate during the first two years of Pingree's term.
