As the 130th Session of the Maine State Legislature kicks off, PenBayPilot.com has reached out to each area state legislator to see what is at the forefront of the minds for each of them.
Representative Victoria Doudera, D-Camden, ran unopposed for her second term in Augusta, and continues her work representing constituents of House District 94, which comprises Camden, Islesboro and Rockport.
One highlight of Doudera’s first legislative term, the 129th session, was Governor Janet Mills signing her bill prohibiting the performance of pelvic examinations, without consent, on unconscious or anesthetized patients.
For the upcoming 130th legislative session, Doudera identified a trio of legislative priorities: Help District 94 families and businesses grapple with the fallout from COVID-19 and help the economy recover; make progress on climate action by working toward the goals of the Maine Climate Council; and maintain a focus on equity for Indigenous Mainers and Mainers of color.
