Many family farms have been affected by PFAS contamination because the treated wastewater fertilizer they were told was safe to use actually contained these forever chemicals.

.@MaineDOT1 has received $45.2 million to rehabilitate 14 bridges. Without this funding, detours of more than 100 miles might have been required. I strongly advocated for this funding through my work on the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee. https://t.co/tAEQTp3FgE — PolitiTweet.org
