Good policy starts on the front lines.

I am grateful for Mariah Pfeiffer's help on LD 2103, which I sponsored to protect Maine hospitals from cybersecurity attacks--- like those Lewiston experienced in 2025.

Since then, Mariah and so many other courageous nurses at CMMC have led the fight for their rights as workers, decisively winning their union vote-- with 91% support.

Why? Because as frontline workers, CMMC nurses know that Lewiston deserves better healthcare.

That fight is not over.

I am working everyday alongside you to hold Prime accountable for their union-busting tactics, illegal firings, and systemic failures.

Thank you, Mariah, for your endorsement.

“As a nurse here in Lewiston, I saw firsthand the chaos and care disruptions caused by last June’s cyberattacks and electronic medical record downtime at our local hospitals.

Rep. McCabe listened closely to the impact on our community and worked with clinicians, administrators, cybersecurity experts to craft LD 2103, legislation requiring Maine hospitals to plan for cyberattacks and maintain continuity of care.

That is something worth recognizing: a local legislator who listens to her community, learns from its experiences, and turns those lessons into protections for others.

Let’s send her back to the Legislature so she can continue this good work.”

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” cuts $2.7 billion from MaineCare, and Senator Collins promotes the Rural Health Transformation Program as the fix. The problem is, the fund doesn't come anywhere close to covering the loss and 96% of the money we DO get won't go towards providing health care to the 28,000 Mainers losing it.

Where does the money go? Consultants, software, and AI.

For every $75 cut from patient care, Collins’ rural health program puts back just $1.

Poverty rose during LePage’s administration.

While many Mainers were still struggling to recover from the recession, Paul LePage's administration cut access to programs that helped families make ends meet. Tighter eligibility requirements for SNAP resulted in 42,600 Maine children losing food assistance, while Maine forfeited $142 million in federal food assistance.

Maine children fell into deep poverty at eight times the national average. During part of LePage’s tenure, one in six Maine households was food insecure, and Maine ranked third in the nation for hunger.

No Maine student should have to learn on an empty stomach.

In this year’s state budget, we continued to fund free meals for K-12 students, saving families money and ensuring Maine kids don’t go hungry during the school day.
