Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades.
Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
🚨 New laws take effect THIS WEEK (Sept. 24) that help get PFAS out of our food, ensure Mainers have access to primary care, and lower the cost of clean water.
@mainesenatedems fight EVERY DAY to keep Mainers healthy. And we will keep on fighting. 💪

No Mainer should have to deal with this uncertainty. No Mainer should have to face the possibility of changing their long-term care plan to a new hospital network or drive hours to receive medical care.

Please know that while Senate Republicans failed to get this critical funding out to our nursing homes, drug-treatment providers, and rural hospitals this week, Senate Democrats are already hard at work, rolling up our sleeves to deliver healthcare for Mainers across the state.
While we had hoped for a bipartisan path forward, that didn’t happen. But Democrats remain committed to doing the work, finding solutions and standing up for the people we serve.
We’ll always have Mainers’ backs.

People like John, Jess, and Jan Hansen matter. Let anyone who relies on MaineCare services—and their loved ones—know that they should reach out to Senate Republicans before today's final vote on the emergency supplemental budget. #mepolitics
Mainers — we have your back. Regardless of what happens during tomorrow's final vote on the emergency supplemental budget, we're going to find a way to protect Mainers' healthcare. #mepolitics
❌ What Republican proposals did our caucus REJECT during the emergency supplemental budget negotiations?
Kicking over 100,000 Mainers off their healthcare, adding red tape to a program one in three Mainers relies on, and removing a key homelessness prevention program.
🗣️ Thank you Senator @henryingwersen for setting the stakes of this debate.
We must look after Maine people and pass this emergency supplemental budget.
🚨 Please, urge Maine’s Republican lawmakers to support these critical services: https://t.co/hCI3PSSzkk
As our nation and planet suffer from the increasing extreme weather and climate impacts, it is critical we reelect environmental leaders like Senator King to continue advancing climate and clean energy progress.
#LCVAF is proud to endorse him for reelection to the U.S. Senate.
