Sen. Angus King is running for reelection against three opponents, and in my opinion, there is no one more qualified or more experienced to represent Maine in the U.S. Senate. As an independent, he has worked tirelessly to promote bipartisan solutions to our biggest problems.
He is a firm advocate for lowering drug and health care costs while expanding accessibility, and he helped pass legislation to cap out-of-pocket prescription costs for seniors and to cap the price of insulin at $35 a month. He has also labored to address the affordable housing crisis and to expand home ownership, which are both serious problems throughout the state.
Sen. King has been a leading supporter of the expansion of broadband — bringing millions of dollars to our state — which has been a game-changer for many people living in rural communities. He is a forceful advocate for expanding veterans’ benefits and has brought funding home for dozens of community programs for veterans.
For all of Maine he pushed for passage of the infrastructure bill, which will fund long-needed repairs to Maine’s roads, bridges, ports and airports. Finally, Sen. King and his office provide excellent constituent services, helping Mainers access federal resources and connecting veterans transitioning from active duty to state and local organizations.
I encourage Maine voters to familiarize themselves with Angus’ accomplishments and positions, and to vote for his reelection to the U.S. Senate.
