Chuck Ellis sits down with Rep. Rachel Henderson (R-Oxford County) to discuss what really happens inside the Maine Legislature. Rachel shares her path from growing up in Rumford and milking cows at 4 a.m. to serving on the Judiciary Committee, and explains how a bill becomes law.
They discuss LD 127 and the push for Government Oversight Committee access to investigate more than 150 child deaths involving DHHS, parliamentary moves that killed bills with majority support, transparency in public hearings, and her bipartisan work on public defense reform and AI-generated child exploitation material.
