King Votes to Secure Critical Funding for Maine

Press Release

U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) today voted to approve bipartisan legislation that funds the government through the rest of this Fiscal Year. The legislation includes several provisions Senator King fought for that support critical programs across Maine.

"This bipartisan legislation is poised to do a lot of good for Maine," Senator King said. "Not only does it provide significant funds to combat the opioid crisis, but it also includes provisions that will invest in local job growth and economic development efforts, that will support Maine's tourism industry, and that will preserve the environment and help make education more affordable for Maine students. This bipartisan bill is a good example of what Congress is capable of achieving when it puts aside politics and works together on behalf of the American people."
