Thank you so much for having us join you! Just like Maine, Rhode Island has some great student leaders.
We were lucky to have Secretary Bellows @MESecOfState and author @KenBlockRI at this month's Rhode Island Civic Leadership Program meeting. Thank you for engaging with our student leaders and thank you to the @RI_BOE for hosting!

In March, 15,174 people signed up as organ donors when they got or renewed their license of state ID in Maine. Almost 58% of BMV customers have the on their credential signifying they've signed up. That's one of the highest rates in the northeast!

Today, I joined @MESecOfState and @NEDonorServices to celebrate #DonateLifeMonth at the Maine State House. Organ donors saved more than 1,000 lives in New England last year, but more than 100,000 people across the United States are still waiting for their transplant.
Thank you to @GovJanetMills and @NEDonorServices for joining us in spreading the word about the importance of organ donation today, and thank you to the approximately 770,000 Mainers who have already registered.

We can be proud that more than 700,000 Maine people – including myself – are signed up to be organ donors. If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so when you renew your license at the BMV, or by visiting the National Donate Life Registry at registerme.org.

Sec. Bellows spoke with Matt Gagnon this AM about yesterday's primary.
One takeaway: If you aren't sure what party you're enrolled in (or if you're unenrolled) checking with your municipal clerk now to be sure you're enrolled as you want to be for the June primary is a good idea.

The design of the new standard-issue license plates were unveiled today! Starting in May 2025, Mainers who have the Chickadee Plate will get either the Pine Tree Plate or a plain plate with similar colors.
For now, Mainers don't need to do anything. 1/2
