Augusta, Maine — Today, Maine Democratic Party Chairman Charlie Dingman released the following statement ahead of Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Bangor:

“Mainers are feeling the consequences of the Trump-Vance administration every day. Costs are rising and working families are being left behind while Maine Republicans cheer on the Trump administration’s disastrous policies. By welcoming and celebrating JD Vance’s visit, Republican candidates up and down the ballot are tying themselves to the MAGA agenda that’s driving up costs and hurting Maine families. Maine voters won’t forget it in November.”
