Posted: October 10, 2025 | Senator Curry

AUGUSTA — Sen. Chip Curry, D-Belfast, received a perfect score in the Maine AFL-CIO’s 2025 Legislative Scorecard for his voting record to promote fair wages, ensure safe work environments and support working families. Sen. Curry was one of 17 senators to earn a perfect score. The Maine AFL-CIO scored 11 initiatives considered by the 132nd Maine Legislature in 2025.

“From teachers and lineworkers to farmers and first responders, Maine’s economy depends on the people who keep it running,” said Sen. Curry. “I’m proud to stand with Maine’s workers. When we strengthen wages, training and worker protections, we’re build a stronger, more resilient economy for all Mainers.”

Sen. Curry received a perfect score for supporting legislation that would lower costs for working families and protect the state’s future as a place for families to live happily and raise a family. Sen. Curry supported legislation to:

  • Protect the income of federal and state employees during government shutdowns.
  • Guarantee a minimum wage for Maine farmworkers.
  • Fund public pre-K-12 education by making the wealthiest pay their fair share.
  • Strengthen the pre-apprenticeship programs that bolster Maine’s workforce.
  • Improve recruitment, retention and pay for state employees.
  • Ensure that the workers powering Maine’s clean energy transition are compensated fairly with good benefits.
  • Help law enforcement and first responders access treatment for PTSD.
  • Fund Maine government services and programs, including education and revenue sharing.

Sen. Curry also opposed a perennial effort that would weaken the ability of workers to organize for better wages and safe working conditions.

Sen. Curry has a long history of supporting working families in the Legislature and has received a perfect score from the Maine AFL-CIO every year he has served in the Legislature.
