I'm on my way to Senator Inouye's funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral. He was an inspirational leader who did a lot for our veterans. He'll be greatly missed.

- It was so nice to meet American Gold Star Mothers President Mary Byers from Tennessee and Bethel Shields from Auburn, Maine this morning at Arlington National Cemetery.
- It was an honor to join Morrill Worcester and many others today at Arlington National Cemetery. Here Morrill and I are laying a Maine wreath at Senator Muskie's grave.
- There are so many victims, and too many of them are young, innocent children. It’s hard to even comprehend how something like this could take place. Words cannot begin to express the shock and sadness felt by those directly impacted by this tragedy or the sympathy that all of us feel for those who lost so much today. I know I join all Mainers in sending my thoughts and prayers to the families, friends, and schoolmates of the victims and the entire community that was so drastically impacted by this heinous act.
- Today I met with representatives from paper mills around the country, including those in Maine, about our concerns over the Canadian paper mill in Port Hawkesbury that received massive government subsidies to open. We’ll be working together closely, especially given its potential impact on our state.
- This morning I spoke out against the dysfunction in Congress and the need for filibuster reform. We need to change the way Washington works to get results and avoid more partisan standoffs.

I'd have to agree with #7! Anyone else?- Here's a photo from today’s announcement of the new House committee Ranking Members for the 113th Congress. Thank you for all the kind comments. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

I’m humbled and honored to be the new Ranking Member of the full House Veterans’ Affairs Committee.- Senator Snowe, Congresswoman Pingree and I sent a letter today to the owners of Five Guys hamburger franchises in New England urging them to use Maine potatoes for their French fries. They have a restaurant in Portland and a new location scheduled to open in Bangor. I think our local potatoes would make a great addition to their menus.
- Here's a photo of me with our fall DC interns. I'd like to thank Steven Langlin, Ryne Chua and Stefanie Rodriguez for all the hard work they put in on behalf of Maine's Second Congressional District.

Please "share" to spread the word so no one you know becomes a victim. These criminals are targeting seniors and getting away with it.- **SAVE THE DATE**
