I was proud to help pass universal school meals in the Maine Legislature. But feeding our kids takes more than passing a law. Hardworking farmers like those at Milkhouse Farms, who produce high-quality milk for families across Maine, are the ones putting in the work.

Proud to stand with the farmers who keep our communities fed.

Ralphs Food for Less Mariano’s Smith’s Harris Teeter Kroger ALREADY owns all these grocery stores. Now, Kroger wants to buy Giant Eagle too. Less competition could mean higher grocery costs for YOU. Donald Trump shouldn't just rubber-stamp this merger.
