“From prescription drug costs to reproductive care to COVID-19, I will fight to ensure that every Mainer receives the quality, affordable care they deserve.”

“Access to reliable Internet is a necessity, whether it's for school, work, or staying connected with family and friends.”

“Every Mainer, regardless of their income or where they live, should have access to fresh, healthy food.”

“Planned Parenthood has been there for thousands of Maine people. From cancer screenings to crucial reproductive care, there are countless families that rely on their support and care.”

“We have taken on the fossil fuel companies, combating climate change and even the energy utilities.”

“Whether we have a new baby, a sick parent or an injured spouse, taking time off to care for our family member or ourselves is a need almost every one of us experiences during some point in our lives. This is true no matter where people live, what their income level is, or what kind of job they do.”

“Every single one of us deserves access to quality, affordable health care.”

“In my twenties, I relied on Planned Parenthood as my health care provider - and throughout my time in the State House, I have fought for Mainers' reproductive rights.”

“We're all in agreement that our children deserve a world-class education.”

“COVID-19 is a national crisis, and we need a national response to address it.”

“Lobbyists and special interests continue to take advantage of loopholes that allow them to host lavish receptions and pay for trips for members of Congress. Those practices represent exactly what's wrong with Washington, and I'm committed to ending them.”

“I know how to stand up to a bully - but maybe more importantly how to work around a bully.”

“Whether it's making sure that a person has access to a doctor when they need one, investing in excellent first class educations for our children or making sure that working people are able to provide for their families and put food on the table when they put in an honest day's work, I will continue to put people and families first.”

“Our rural communities are the heart of Maine, and we must invest in them - building our energy infrastructure, expanding access to broadband, and most importantly, making sure every single person has access to the health care they need.”

“We must provide our kids with the skills they need to stay and succeed here in Maine - that's something we all agree on.”

“Creating paid family and medical leave will create a foundation for healthier families, healthier workplaces and the chance to have a growing and thriving population of families in Maine.”

“No matter where we go in the state, I hear from Mainers that they are ready for someone to stand up for them in Washington.”
