WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Hannah Pingree for Governor of Maine.
“Hannah Pingree has spent more than two decades proving that effective leadership means listening to people, bringing them together, and then getting to work,” said Liz Gallagher, Executive Director of Elect Democratic Women. “From serving in the Maine House and becoming the youngest woman in the nation to serve as Speaker of the House, to leading Maine’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future, Hannah has consistently taken on the challenges that matter most to working families and communities. She has fought to expand health care and housing access, protect reproductive rights, and support Maine’s children, aging adults, and workers. Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse her for Governor.”
“I’m honored to have the support of Elect Democratic Women and grateful for their commitment to building communities where everyone has the opportunity to succeed,” said Hannah Pingree. “I’m running for Governor because I believe we can meet our biggest challenges by working together and focusing on what Maine families need to build a good life for their families. Whether it’s building housing that’s affordable, strengthening our workforce, fighting for rural health care, or preparing our communities for a changing climate, I’m ready to get to work building a stronger future for our state.”
