My statement on Kamala Harris selection of Governor Tim Walz as her running mate:

Help ask President Biden to designate the Frances Perkins Homestead as a national monument! Adding your name to their petition will show public support and help provide Frances Perkins with the recognition she earned as a national leader! francesperkinscenter.org/national-monum…

Today, on the 61st anniversary of the March on Washington and with my parents proudly watching, we launched Black Mainers for Harris Walz! We’re creating a space for dialogue, organizing and action. Grateful to everyone who made today a success. Let’s get to work!

My column in the Portland Press Herald reflects upon this moment in history and the need to continue building leadership at every level of government – leadership that looks like us, that understands our stories and that is committed to justice and equality. pressherald.com/2024/09/03/rac…

Today, we remember those who lost their lives 23 years ago and honor the brave heroes who selflessly helped save countless lives that morning. We will never forget.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the brave first responders and everyday heroes who showed the strength of our nation in the face of tragedy. As we reflect on the past, we remain united in our commitment to peace, resilience, and hope.

Today, we honor the Wabanaki Nations – the first stewards of the land that we now call home. Let us recommit ourselves to healing past wrongdoings and creating a more prosperous future for everyone in Maine.

This week, we celebrated my father, Gerald Talbot, on his 93rd birthday! Seeing Talbot Park support the Bangor YMCA’s mission to expand services, add green space, and bring our community together was the perfect gift. bangordailynews.com/2024/10/30/ban…

A local faith leader shared this message today and it deeply resonated with me. I hope it does the same for you.

Today we honor all who served, including my father, Gerald Talbot, his brother Bob Talbot, and my uncles Leonard and Thomas Cummings. Grateful for their courage and for all veterans’ - and their families - sacrifices. Thank you for your service. #VeteransDay

HAPPENING NOW: Call Senate Republicans before today's final vote on the emergency supplemental budget. We need them to change their minds and look out for the third of Maine people who rely on MaineCare. 📷: TUNE IN LIVE NOW: legislature.maine.gov/Audio/#senate_… #PassTheEmergencySupplemental

Today, I voted in favor of the continuing services budget because it provides crucial funding needed to eradicate the spruce budworm before an outbreak. By mitigating the budworm’s impact, we save our forests and thousands of jobs in our heritage industries.
