US Representitive Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) is Up for Reelection on the November 5th Ballot.

VOTING MATTERS THIS YEAR!.”

Today, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D) announced that Maine will be the recipient of $37.6 million for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to help Maine families lower their heating costs this winter – part of a $3.7 billion invesstment awarded through the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children & Families Office of Community Services.

“With Maine families facing another winter, the LIHEAP funding comes at a acritical time.  More than 45,000 Maine households – our neighbors, seniors and tribal communities rely on this assistance to keep warm and safe through the winter months,” said Pingree in a press release issued by her office this morning.  “No one should ever have to choose between heating their home and putting food on the table or buying medicine.  That’s why as a member of the House Approproations Committee, I’ll continue fighting to protect and strrengthen LIHEAP funding.”
