Wishing all Maine people a Happy Independence Day!

Please join me in praying for the health and safety of former President Trump, those who attended his rally today, and our country. There is absolutely no place for violence in our politics - none.

.President Biden is right: America is a nation of promise and possibilities. Nothing is beyond our capacity - when we do it together. On behalf of Maine people, thank you, President Biden, for your lifetime of service above self. I look forward to our continued work together.

To Maine students and educators returning to the classroom: Welcome back to school! Wishing you all a happy and healthy year of learning and growth! May it be the best one yet!
