Throughout my first year in office, one of the most frequent concerns I’ve heard from constituents is that the rising cost of living is making it harder for families in Gorham to get ahead. From increasing housing costs to grocery prices, it feels like everything is more expensive now than it was even just a year ago. It’s hurting working families and older folks on fixed incomes the most.

AUGUSTA – A new law sponsored by Rep. Kristi Mathieson, D-Kittery, to provide a lifeline to essential federal workers impacted by a government shutdown went into effect last week. The law, which was enacted by the Legislature earlier this year and signed by Gov. Janet Mills, is especially timely, as the federal government shut down at midnight on Oct. 1 for the first time in nearly seven years.

Fall has arrived, and while it might be my favorite season, the cooler weather means that the cold winter months are right around the corner. How my family is going to heat our home in the upcoming months – and how much it will cost – has been on my mind.
The rising cost of living, from expensive healthcare to increasing utility bills, is one of the most common issues that I have been hearing about consistently from constituents. It’s hitting a lot of Maine families hard, especially those on fixed incomes.
