    This bill is an important step in the right direction, it’s bipartisan, and it’s commonsense – and hopefully, it will become law very soon. To learn more about the bill, read here:

    Sometimes complex problems have simple answers, and that’s what this bill does. By simplifying and isolating critical pieces of infrastructure that help run our grid, economy, health care system and more, we can defend against crippling attacks.

    For years, bad actors have been testing American systems for weaknesses, and over time their incursions have grown more sophisticated and more threatening. But even as the danger becomes more clear, our government response has been lacking.

    Major progress to protect America’s national security overnight! Last night, the Senate passed the Securing Energy Infrastructure Act, my bill with that will help reduce digital vulnerabilities in our energy grid and protect our vital infrastructure from hackers.

    That’s why I’ve joined with , , and to introduce the Restore Our Parks Act, which would address the maintenance backlog in a fiscally responsible way. It’s bipartisan, and it’s necessary– so let’s pass it.

    Our national parks reflect the national promise we’ve made to our children and grandchildren: to protect and maintain this world so that future generations may enjoy its beauty. Unfortunately, we have a lot of work to do if we’re going to live up to our responsibility.

    Our criminal justice system isn’t working; not for those who spend decades in prison for nonviolent offenses, not for law enforcement officers, and not for taxpayers. We can create a better criminal justice system for all Americans, and last night we took the first step.

    Bipartisanship on display last night – by a vote of 87-12, the Senate overwhelmingly passed long-needed reforms to our criminal justice system that will make communities safer, prepare inmates to be productive members of society, and save taxpayer money.

    Anything I have achieved in my public life has been in many ways attributable to the work of Kay Rand, my longtime chief of staff, advisor, and friend who will be returning to Maine full-time in 2019.

    Throughout my career in public service, I’ve had the good fortune to work with some incredible people – but Kay Rand, my longtime chief of staff, is in a class of her own. Watch live, as I speak on the Senate floor to honor my dear friend.

    A pleasure to join at this morning to discuss ways to prepare for the economy of the future – particularly the importance of high-speed broadband, which would allow rural Maine communities to compete in the global marketplace.

    Rural Maine people need the internet just as much as anyone else – to pursue economic opportunities, further their education, and connect with their friends and loved ones. I’ll keep working to make sure we take every step possible to close the digital divide.

    High-speed internet isn’t a luxury – it’s an important tool for Maine’s farmers, and a necessity for rural communities looking to grow economically. That’s why I pushed to include legislation helping to expand rural broadband in this year's Farm Bill.

    Immigrants make so many important contributions to communities throughout Maine; I'm thankful to all of the immigrants and advocates who shared their voice with me today, and I’ll keep fighting on their behalf.

    Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to listen to concerns from the immigrant community about the proposed public charge rule. We are proud to have such a strong ally fighting on the behalf of Mainers, both new and old, in Washington!
