This week I’ve heard from 3,500+ constituents who are outraged that millions of Americans are poised to lose control of their own bodies after nearly 50 years.
82% of them said loud + clear: Congress must pass a bill to protect #RoevWade.
I was moved that so many Mainers shared stories about their own abortions, complicated pregnancies, and miscarriages. Like Cathie from @CityPortland.
Their stories are no one’s business, but they felt compelled to speak up b/c abortion is health care, not a political football.
While we are fortunate to have a Governor who has pledged to uphold abortion access in Maine, our reproductive rights should not be at risk every election year. #PassWHPA
The #BuildBackBetter Act is a blueprint to rebuild our nation for the next century. Our plan fulfills the urgency Americans rightfully demand of their government.
For decades many of the biggest challenges facing our nation have been put on the back burner: child care affordability, a stronger safety net for aging Americans and people with disabilities, and our hazardous dependence on fossil fuels, to name a few.
.@POTUS ran on a platform to reform these failed policies. That he won more votes than any candidate in our history was a strong endorsement of these promises. Amid a pandemic & economic crisis, Americans elected a unified Democratic gov't to solve our most perplexing problems.
As a parent and grandparent, I am grieving today for the 17 families who lost loved ones in the #Parkland school tragedy and for the survivors who will be forever haunted by what they lived through. 1/7 #mepolitics
I’m ashamed to be in a Congress that continues to sit on its hands while these tragedies and our constituents demand swift action. 2/7 #mepolitics
It’s not for lack of trying on the part of Democrats, who have offered sensible legislation to stem the flow of weapons into the hands of those who would use them to slaughter members of our communities. 3/7
