After the Biddeford shooting, I called the Secretary of Homeland Security, [and] met with the acting director and suggested that they prioritize Maine for receipt of these body-worn cameras. And they did. And every ICE agent in the state…

That is absolutely outrageous, and you owe me an apology.

I am pleased that these funds are being released to help Mainers afford to heat their homes this winter without having to choose between staying warm and paying for other basic necessities.

It’s a critical program and the foundation of retirement income for most Mainers, and I’ve voted repeatedly to preserve it.
