[link removed] [[link removed]]Happy National Lobster Day, John!
As Senator, I have the privilege of working on behalf of my Maine constituents to bring about lasting change, both big and small. As we approach my campaignโs final end-of-quarter fundraising deadline ahead of the election, I want to share one of my favorite โsmallerโ accomplishments: getting our cherished lobster added to the ever-growing lexicon of emojis.
But first, I need to ask a small favor of you: Can you chip in $10 to my campaign before our last major deadline before Iโm up for re-election so I can continue making a difference in the Senate? [[link removed]]

In the months preceding the lobster emojiโs historic debut, I wrote a letter to the Unicode Consortium urging them to add the lobster due to its impact on our state and country as a whole.
Emojis are fun, and the ๐ฆ emoji is no different. But this effort was more than just a lighthearted gesture - it was an important recognition of this aquatic creatureโs cultural and economic significance in our state.
Lobstermen and women are the lifeblood of Maineโs economy, with fisheries accounting for hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. The people who work long hours under tough conditions to catch the delicious crustaceans are responsible for Maineโs worldwide reputation as the land of lobsters. Maine just wouldnโt be Maine without lobsters, so it stands to reason that they deserve their very own emoji.
Iโm committed to supporting the Maine people who know, better than anyone, the importance of the lobster. I will continue to support legislation, both big and small, that honors and uplifts all of the things that make Maine such a special place to live and raise a family.
When people ask me about the ๐ฆ, I know itโs a little thing. But I figure, if one person out of ten who uses that emoji buys a Maine lobster or takes a vacation to Maine, itโs not just cute - itโs a free advertisement for our state.
Thank you,
๐ฎ๐
P.S. Iโm up for re-election in just 40 days, and my last end of quarter deadline before the big day is this week. To keep creating lasting change in the U.S. Senate, my campaign is counting on contributions (big or small) from supporters like you to hit our goal. Will you chip in $20? [[link removed]]
