LePage famously put a sign declaring "Open for business" on the Maine Turnpike in Kittery. Mills said those arriving at the Kittery line will soon see a sign saying simply "Welcome home." (subject to
@MaineTurnpike approval, which happens to be run by her brother)#mepoliticsShow this thread -
"We will bring back Maine's tradition of civil discourse," Mills said after she pledges to welcome diverse voices to policy debates.

Closing her speech, Mills says: "Tomorrow we rise before the dawn - like the mist over the Sandy River - and seek adventure with hope in our hearts and love in our souls for the brand-new day. To all of you, and to the people of Maine, I say, 'Welcome home.'"
