“I am incredibly grateful to the volunteers and supporters who worked tirelessly to collect these signatures,” said Congresswoman PIngree.  “Seeing the enthusiasm and dedication from Mainers across the First District is humbling and reinforces the urgency of the work we have ahead.  From lowering the cost of prescription drugs and fighting for our farmers to protecting our coastline and standing up for reproductive rights, I am ready to continue delivering results for Maine.”

She will continue engaging with voters across the district in the coming months to discuss the issues that matter most to Maine people.
