President Trump continues to deliver

With the news that President Donald Trump is visiting Puritan Medical Products in Guilford, I felt it was important to highlight the phenomenal work he has done fighting for Maine throughout this pandemic.

 

Through the CARES Act, signed by President Trump, the federal government has sent $1.2 billion to Mainers to help us put food on the table and pay our mortgage. The stimulus checks have been critical to me and my family.

 

To keep Mainers employed throughout the coronavirus, Sen. Susan Collins authored the Paycheck Protection Program, which President Trump signed into law, that has saved hundreds of thousands of jobs in Maine.

 

As part of Trump invoking the Defense Production Act, Puritan Medical Products received funding to expand to a second factory in Pittsfield, which will help Puritan double their production of critical coronavirus testing swabs.

 

As one of only two manufacturers of these swabs, Mainers can be proud of the work they are doing to fight the coronavirus.

 

While the Democrats and their media allies are quick to pounce on my president, I know that Trump will always fight for us.
