As the current state director and the new volunteer state president of AARP Maine, we are honored to work with and serve Maine’s 50-plus community. With the legislative session underway, we are excited by all the initiatives AARP Maine is advocating for and wish to highlight a few of our key 2022 priorities. We will continue with the momentum we saw last session in the fight to lower the cost of prescription drugs and increase pricing transparency in Maine.
