Maine's next legislative session begins in January. We’ll be pushing back against the Trump administration's cruel cuts, including cuts to food assistance. I'm proposing a bill that will ensure families receive the SNAP benefits they need for groceries. We can't let Mainers in need go hungry.

Much of Maine will get 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow. In some parts of York County, we could be looking at a foot of snow! Now is the time to get prepared. Put a snow brush/scraper, phone charger, warm clothes, or even a small shovel in your car. Be sure to give plows time & space to clear the roads.

Today, I met with leaders from across the US to talk about child care access. Last session, I championed a bill that allows child care centers to open in any residential neighborhood in Maine. I was excited to talk about that and other measures we passed for working families. #NewDEAL2025Conference

For 100 years, ship pilots have guided cruises, tankers & other vessels in and out of the Portland harbor safely. To become one of the few capable of doing this, they have to complete years of training, apprenticeships and hundreds of rides. They have to know the area & ocean floor with precision.
