Peter Mills, the former executive director of the Maine Turnpike Authority, emerged this week as one of the top faces of “Republicans for Harris.”

The group mirrored in Maine the sudden emergence of a supposed Republican outpouring of support nationally for far-left Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.

But in secretly recorded audio obtained by the Maine Wire from a citizen journalist, Peter Mills revealed that the entire group is astroturf organized by Amy Cookson, a campaign staffer for Vice President Harris’s campaign.

In the recorded audio, Mills, who is the brother of Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and is himself a registered Democrat, explains to a man posing as ‘Tim Dillon’ — an aspiring member of the astroturf group — that it’s being run by Cookson.
