It was great to join @SenAngusKing, @GovJanetMills, @foley4westbrook, and Mayor Snyder to celebrate the exciting arrival of @METROgpt & @BSOOBTRANSIT's new all electric busses! As our region grows, the need for low emission public transit options has never been more important.

An honor to be part of such a great event. Such strong leadership on small issues in Maine thanks to our @SBA_Maine team led by Diane Sturgeon, resource partners, Regional Advocate Louis Luchini, @PortlandChamber and many others. Looking forward to meeting with businesses today.

Thank you to @mvlacich and the @SBA_Maine team for joining us yesterday at Eggs & Issues to highlight some amazing women, veteran, and minority owned small businesses!
