FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUGUSTA – Senator Marianne Moore (R-Washington) has been appointed to serve as a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Health and Human Services for the 129th Legislature.

The Health and Human Services Committee has some of the most demanding oversight responsibilities in the Legislature, as the large Department of Health and Human Services and the programs it administers fall under the committee’s jurisdiction.

“I am incredibly humbled by the opportunity to serve on such an important committee during my first term as a State Senator,” Moore said. “The Health and Human Services Committee deals with a broad range of important topics including welfare reform, sex trafficking and the opiate crisis, to name a few. I look forward to delving into these issues with my colleagues in order to find solutions that work for Maine.”

Senator Moore is serving her first term representing the people of District 6 which includes all of Washington County and the municipalities and unorganized territories of Gouldsboro, Sullivan, Winter Harbor and part of the East Hancock Unorganized Territories.
