We all love Maine’s natural beauty, and protecting it doesn’t happen by accident. We can thank leaders like our own Senator Ed Muskie, who helped pass the Clean Water Act and made sure we had something worth passing down. I want to build on that legacy, which is why I will fight to protect our land, water, and forests from corporate polluters. That starts with restoring and strengthening the Environmental Protection Agency from the cuts it has seen under the Trump administration.
Maine’s lobster and fishermen, as well as our farmers, are seeing the effects of climate change every day. In Congress, I’ll work alongside Maine lobstermen, fishermen and farmers to find solutions that protect their industries for years to come without putting unnecessary and unhelpful burdens on their work.
Maine is also home to the most beautiful national park and national monuments in the country. In order to protect these for generations of Mainers to come, I will fight to fully staff our national parks and to protect them from drilling and development.
