AUGUSTA – A new law sponsored by Rep. Kristi Mathieson, D-Kittery, to provide a lifeline to essential federal workers impacted by a government shutdown went into effect last week. The law, which was enacted by the Legislature earlier this year and signed by Gov. Janet Mills, is especially timely, as the federal government shut down at midnight on Oct. 1 for the first time in nearly seven years.

Fall has arrived, and while it might be my favorite season, the cooler weather means that the cold winter months are right around the corner. How my family is going to heat our home in the upcoming months – and how much it will cost – has been on my mind.
The rising cost of living, from expensive healthcare to increasing utility bills, is one of the most common issues that I have been hearing about consistently from constituents. It’s hitting a lot of Maine families hard, especially those on fixed incomes.

I hope you were able to enjoy your summer and are settling into the beginning of fall. As we move into the new season, I’ve been thinking about my first year in the Legislature and the work we did for Maine people – along with the work that still lies ahead.
