The stakes are high in this next legislative session. Maine people have sent us back to Augusta with a mandate to create jobs and strengthen our economy. House Democrats will take on that challenge while also standing strong on our principles and holding the Republican governor and majority party accountable.

House Democrats have more members returning than any other legislative caucus. We may not hold all of the titles or the gavels now, but we have the knowledge and experience to guide and shape policy. We have the obligation and the opportunity to be the party of ‘Not that, but this, and here’s why.’”

Together, House Democrats will:

Work to create high quality jobs and strengthen our economy

Fight to protect working families and preserve quality, affordable health care

Fight to protect and invest in our schools, colleges, and universities

Protect our environment and our quality of life

Fight to preserve economic and social justice

House Leader Rep. Emily Cain and Assistant Leader Rep. Terry Hayes
