Here for the fishermen, the farmers, and every working family in Maine.
I'm always fighting for Maine fishermen to have a seat at the table, so I invited Dustin Delano, chief operating officer of NEFSA, to testify to the Natural Resources Committee.

Pregnancy and childbirth are normal. So insurance should treat it like any other essential care and fully cover it.
My new bipartisan bill would eliminate cost-sharing for maternity care — making it easier for Mainers to start and grow their families without fear of huge medical bills or debt.

Foreign money shouldn't be able to crowd out the voices of Americans in state and local elections, but that’s exactly what current campaign finance laws allow.
My bipartisan bill with Rep. Fitzpatrick would make Maine's ban on foreign donations to ballot initiatives the law of the land.

I decided to run for Congress in 2018 because I saw lawmakers try to repeal the Affordable Care Act and shift the tax code in favor of the wealthy — all while blowing up the national debt.
I didn't like it then, and I can't stand the new effort today:

Prior generations ensured the federal lands managed by the National Park Service were protected for us. Now it’s our turn to step up.
I'm backing the Save our Parks Act to reinstate any National Park employees targeted by recent mass layoffs — and to maintain an adequate workforce moving forward.

I'm glad the President's recent executive order acknowledged how Maine lobstermen have been under siege against federal mismanagement, namely by the use of incomplete and biased studies to justify catastrophic regulations.

A young Israeli couple was killed last night outside the Capital Jewish Museum, in an apparent act of murderous antisemitism.
My heart and my prayers go out to the victims and their families, their colleagues at the Israeli embassy, and all those grieving this loss.

Mainers want more health care, not less. They want a tax code where everyone pays their fair share. And they want Congress to get its fiscal house in order. This bill fails on each front, so it's one of the easiest ‘no’ votes I’ve taken.

The GOP can't secure the votes to take away health care from millions & cut taxes for the rich. So they’re looking to win over members from rich states by raising the SALT cap.
The biggest winner? The top 1%. Instead of making the bill better, they’re just making it worse.

Arbitrary time limits shouldn't cost Gold Star spouses their survivor benefits, but I've been told directly by Mainers that's exactly what's happening.
So I've written a bipartisan bill to ensure the government lives up to its responsibility to get Gold Star families the full help they deserve.

If the GOP takes health care away from millions of Americans, they should have to reckon with the fallout.
Accountability requires data, so I've introduced an amendment to collect hard figures on how many lose coverage, see health outcomes decline or even die if the GOP's plans become law.

Each day Congress ignores our soaring national debt, the future of Social Security and Medicare is put at greater risk.
The House GOP’s reconciliation plan could add more than $6 trillion to the national debt — a reckless move when we should be shrinking deficits, not growing them.
