I met with members of the
@MainePCA to discuss threats to the 340B Drug Pricing Program, which is critical to both patients & the vitality of our rural health infrastructure. HHS must hold pharmaceutical companies accountable that are threatening to undermine it.pic.twitter.com/vaHEnAc5jg

The closure of the U.S.-Canada border to all but essential travel despite the apparent low risk of cross-border COVID-19 transmission has harmed many families & small businesses.

The VA Caregiver Support Program has been a lifeline to caregivers of post-9/11 veterans. I co-authored the law extending eligibility to caregivers of veterans of all eras, & now the first phase of that expansion—veterans injured in the line of duty before May 7, 1975—is open.

Keeping people affordably & stably housed amid COVID-19 while not bankrupting small property owners is both a moral imperative & a public health necessity.

I have tested negative for COVID. Although I had almost no contact with my three colleagues who have tested positive, I thought it prudent to get tested. My thoughts are with the President, FLOTUS, my colleagues & all who are infected.

With assistance from federal programs that I've championed—including BUILD & PPP—Waterville’s revitalization has been a catalyst for job creation. I'll continue to fight for programs that support Maine’s small businesses & that assist communities as we battle COVID-19.
