Maine Senate President Troy Jackson spoke to our delegation breakfast with @MassDems and @DemsAbroad this morning about how Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will continue to fight for working-class Mainers. We're not going back!
Our team was honored to be a part of this effort in Maine. I join Hon. John Patrick in asking @SenAngusKing, @SenatorCollins, @RepGolden, and @chelliepingree to cosponsor the federal bill.

So incredibly awesome to see the new Maine Mobile BIOLAB in action!
Created in part by legislation I sponsored last year, this state-of-the-art learning experience will now begin heading to schools around Maine– starting with Fort Kent next week.

I went before the Appropriations Committee to let them know that I strongly oppose any efforts to roll back our work on child care, as the administration's budget proposes.
Maine families, providers, and businesses cannot afford to have us slow down on this critical issue.
Senator @miketipping and I joined @MaineCAHC today to talk about the issue of medical debt– something carried by almost half of all Mainers– and the legislation we put in this year to help ease that burden for patients.

The bill I sponsored to collect data on "facility fees" will help folks like Laura, who get surprised by fees that make health care costs even more burdensome for Mainers.
I am glad the governor signed it into law, and look forward to seeing the work the task force produces.
Maine is not and will never be a haven for abhorrent individuals and hateful ideologies.
Speaker @RTalbotRoss and I released the following statement in response to the hateful demonstration that took place in Augusta this weekend. #mepolitics
With a Mobile Learning Lab, we can help level the playing field in education for rural Maine students, ensuring they have access to tools that will enhance their learning and introduce them to good-paying career pathways.
