Janet Mills released her policy platform. Here’s how it’s different from Platner’s.

Key Points:

• Gov. Janet Mills released a comprehensive 24-page policy platform addressing health care, home ownership, child care, education, and social security as she campaigns in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Maine.
• Mills, 78, is competing against newcomer Graham Platner, 41, with the primary winner facing Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the closely watched midterm race on June 9.
• While Mills supports universal health care and breaking up health care conglomerates, Platner advocates for Medicare for All; both call for expanded government negotiation on prescription drug prices.
• Both candidates favor lifting the payroll tax cap to boost Social Security benefits and support the PRO Act to strengthen labor rights, though organized labor largely backs Platner.
• Mills highlights her gubernatorial record, including championing free community college, reproductive health care expansion, and housing assistance measures, while Platner proposes unique policies such as expanding VA home loans to all Americans and banning hedge funds from buying homes.
