Westbrook, MAINE – Maine Democratic Party Chairman Phil Bartlett issued the following statement today on unenrolled State Representative Martin Grohman’s entrance into the race for Maine’s 1st Congressional District:

“Chellie is a tireless champion for the people of Maine’s 1st Congressional District. Whether it’s promoting economic development, defending the minimum wage, fighting for high-quality, affordable health care, advocating for Maine farmers, or standing up to Trump, Chellie has brought Maine’s common-sense values to Washington and has fought for our interests every step of the way. And she has found many ways to work across the aisle to pass legislation and solve problems for our farmers, fishermen, veterans, small businesses, and more. We are proud to support Congresswoman Pingree and are confident the people of Maine’s 1st Congressional District will continue to do so too.”
