I have always appreciated his steady leadership, deep understanding of Maine\u2019s workforce needs, and commitment to expanding educational opportunities across our state.\n\n\u201cUnder President Daigler\u2019s leadership, Maine\u2019s community colleges have strengthened their role as engines of economic growth, now serving more than 33,000 people each year. I\u2019ve appreciated working with Dave to expand short-term workforce training programs, strengthen Pell Grants and the TRIO program, and make important investments to modernize and develop new infrastructure, equipment, and programs throughout the system. His work has helped tens of thousands of Mainers gain the skills they need to succeed while supporting the businesses and communities that depend on a well-trained workforce.\n\n\u201cI thank Dave for his years of dedicated service to the State of Maine and wish him all the best in his future retirement.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-12T06:37:16Z", "2026-06-12T06:39:00Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/senator-collins-statement-on-the-retirement-of-maine-community-college-system-president-david-daigler"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6877249106764793, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
