Deterrence alone is not enough to combat terrorist organizations intent on harming innocent civilians.

In a SASC hearing, I made clear we must prioritize technology that detects when terrorist organizations or cells acquire nuclear weapons.

Maine teachers lay the foundation for our children's success — and by learning from one another, they can elevate each other’s work. I am proud to have secured more than $500K for Educate Maine to connect and empower educators across all sixteen counties.
