I am honored by the opportunity to serve as your state representative for District 104 in the Maine House of Representatives for the 131st Legislature. For this two year term, I was also elected to serve my fellow caucus members as the Assistant House Republican Leader. It is a tremendous honor to help lead my peers through the complexities of legislative business. The Second Regular Session of the 131st Legislature got underway on January 3. Legislative committees are expected to debate approximately 635 bills this session. In order for me to represent you, I encourage you to provide me your thoughts on all the issues that are important to you. Using the legislative homepage: Legislature.Maine.Gov you can monitor all legislative proposals being worked on at the State House. From here you can browse bill summaries and roll call votes, view session and public hearing schedules, listen to committee hearings or watch live streaming video of the House and Senate. You can also access committee hearings via Zoom, where you can observe or testify on a bill. For the 131st Legislature, I continue to serve on the Government Oversight Committee (GOC). Membership on the GOC is evenly divided between the 2 largest political parties represented in each chamber. The mission of the committee is to oversee program evaluation and government accountability in State government. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve as your elected representative for the Town of New Gloucester. Please call me anytime at 333-1817 to keep me updated on your concerns. If you have an interest in receiving my regular E-Newsletter, please send along your email address to Amy.Arata@legislature.maine.gov so that it can be added to my distribution list. Again, thank you for providing me the honor of serving you in Augusta!
