While Maine’s home heating prices have risen by 80% year to year, LIHEAP’s funding has increased by less than one percent.
With winter on the horizon, I’m urging Congress to plug the gap as soon as possible so that Mainers don’t have to face the cold alone.
I’ve joined @RepChrisPappas to request a supplemental $3 billion for LIHEAP, on top of the $4 billion already appropriated.

Every tribe in the nation is able to access federal programs and resources specifically intended for them — except Maine’s.
While we celebrate Maine’s tribes today, let us also recommit to the fight for sovereignty for our tribal neighbors.

Americans deserve fiscal stability and responsible government, but the nation’s skyrocketing debt and ailing fiscal health are making life more expensive for families and threatening the prosperity of future generations.
It’s time to do something about it. 🧵

For as long as I've been in Congress, I have opposed efforts to cut LIHEAP and worked across the aisle to ensure adequate home heating assistance is available to keep Mainers warm in our long, cold winters.
With heating oil prices at record highs, Mainers are feeling the pinch like never before. I will support any effort to increase LIHEAP funding in a supplemental appropriation this year.

To cut electricity costs, we need to generate more domestic energy & build transmission lines to get it to homes & businesses. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 builds on my bill with @repwesterman to get shovels in the ground.
The Senate should pass it🧵

The BAAJA will also create more certainty in the energy industry. As I fought for in the House, this deal includes a provision to prevent any president from pulling the plug on projects approved under their predecessor.
