    Orrin Hatch was a valued colleague and a dear friend. When I was a new Senator, Orrin asked me to work with him on the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which has since provided health care for millions of children in low-income families.

    Maine experienced more than 9,500 overdoses & 636 deaths in 2021. To reduce these tragedies, we need better data to help health providers target treatment resources where they are needed most. A top U.S. health official told me she’s committed to improving this data.

    In addition to rapidly passing a military & humanitarian aid package, the U.S. should ban American imports of Russian oil; revoke Russia’s most-favored-nation status; & send more anti-tank & anti-aircraft missiles, drones, & other lethal weapons as well as non-lethal supplies.
