Prominent GOP State Representative Laurel Libby spoke to Mills as he included a reference to the text in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
“Let me be clear, Gov. Janet Mills’s claim that she has always stood up for the rights of women and girls in Maine is completely wrong, because the Maine Department of Justice suit for refusing to comply with Title IX is not there if she had.
“This is not a state’s right. As she argues, it’s about Governor Mills and Maine Democrats pushing forward a far left ideology that ignores biological reality. By ignoring Title IX, they identify, endanger and put an end to Maine students and families.
Attending a press conference Wednesday when U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondy announced the lawsuit, Libby has been one of Mills’ toughest critics for the past two months as the state refused to protect President Donald Trump from women’s sports banal orders. After Trump signed the order on February 5th, Maine was one of the earliest states to show intentions not to comply with it.
Libby turned her attention to the state’s ongoing trans-inclusion policy when she created a social media post in mid-February identifying biologically male trans-athletes who won the Greeley High School girls’ pole vault competition.

Since the post, two federal agencies have begun investigating the state. The Ministry of Agriculture has raised frozen funds for it, and an official lawsuit has now been filed by the DOJ. Maine filed its own lawsuit against the Trump administration over a fundraising freeze, with federal judges ruling that the funds must be unzen.
Meanwhile, Libby was denounced by a Democrat majority in the Maine House for a social media post about the premise that she had identified a minor. Libby then sued House Speaker Ryan Fecto to overthrow the accusation, claiming that the minors she identified were already being promoted in other media.
