Maine Senate Democrats

Remember, while these actions put a strain on administration, funding for the program directed by Congress is intact and Maine's HEAP program remains accessible. Visit mainehousing.org/heap for more information. #mepolitics

To Mainers, LIHEAP isn't just a line item in an agency's budget – it's a lifeline that can make the difference between staying warm and freezing to death in a cold home. Firing workers who help Mainers stay warm is cruel and unnecessary. #mepolitics

We joined Rep. Tavis Hasenfus in writing to the Trump Administration about their chaotic and reckless decision to fire federal workers who administer heating assistance. #mepolitics

Senate Majority Leader Teresa S. Pierce reacts to the Trump Administration withholding funding for family planning services, which provide essential care to thousands of Mainers every year. #mepolitics

Please know that while Senate Republicans failed to get this critical funding out to our nursing homes, drug-treatment providers, and rural hospitals this week, Senate Democrats are already hard at work, rolling up our sleeves to deliver healthcare for Mainers across the state.

A must-watch below. Senator Nicole Grohoski tells the stories of two of her constituents—both of whom rely on MaineCare services for their livelihood and well-being. #MEPolitics

Maine people sent us here to protect their health care, lower their costs, and fight for our state—Not to play ridiculous political games while real peoples’ care is at stake. #MEPolitics

For weeks, they strung us along, and strung Maine people along — constantly finding new excuses to deny MaineCare providers the funding they need. #MEPolitics

Yesterday, most Senate Republicans turned their backs on Maine people. #MEPolitics #News

Happy Black History Month, Maine. Let's keep fighting for ALL Mainers' dignity and worth. 👏🏾 #BlackHistoryMonth #Maine #News

👇 A quick list of the Republican proposals our caucus REJECTED during the emergency supplemental budget negotiations #MEPolitics #News

Let us be clear: our caucus will always unite to stop cuts to Mainers' healthcare. Thank you to Sen. @miketipping for speaking out and standing up for Mainers. 🤝 #MEPolitics #MaineCare #News

That would mean folks with disabilities, people battling cancer, and working Mainers doing their best to stay afloat would have their healthcare ripped away from them. #MEPolitics #MaineCare #News

Last week during the emergency supplemental budget debate, Republicans made yet another attempt to cut Mainers' healthcare. 🚨🏥 Their proposal would've reversed MaineCare expansion voters overwhelmingly supported in 2017. #MEPolitics #MaineCare #News
