Mike Michaud is making us proud. Our first-term congressman is more than carrying his weight in Washington for us.

Rep. Michaud managed to secure $45 million in extra funding for high priority projects in our district. The last time a transportation authorization bill was considered in Congress, the entire state of Maine received only $2 million more than what our district will now receive due to Congressman Michaud’s efforts.

We need jobs. Infrastructure and transportation are the fundamentals necessary to bring those jobs to us. Congressman Michaud understands that and is working hard to make our federal government work for us.

Congressman Michaud is an extraordinary man from Maine achieving tremendous feats for us in Washington in his first term in office.
