Sen. Miramant earns perfect score from Maine AFL-CIO on voting record for working families

AUGUSTA — Sen. Dave Miramant, D-Camden, has received a perfect score from the Maine AFL-CIO’s legislative scorecard for his support of working families during the second session of the 128th Legislature.

“Too often the voices of working people and their families are underrepresented in the halls of the State House,” said Sen. Miramant. “I am proud of my record of standing up for them and doing my best to ensure that they are heard in Augusta.”

Founded in 1956, the Maine AFL-CIO represents four active labor councils, more than 160 local labor unions and more than 40,000 workers and retirees here in Maine. The AFL-CIO advocates on behalf of workers from all different professions — teachers, papermakers, truck drivers, nurses, letter carriers, firefighters and more.

Sen. Miramant received perfect marks from the AFL-CIO for his steadfast support of Maine workers, which includes supporting legislation to fund voter-approved Medicaid expansion, voting to fix Maine’s flawed unemployment system and fighting to ensure Mainers get the overtime pay they deserve. He also opposed multiple efforts to roll back the voter-approved minimum wage increase, which would have resulted in a serious pay cut for thousands of working Mainers.

Sen. Miramant is serving his second term representing District 12 in the Maine Senate, which includes all of Knox County except the town of Washington.
