AUGUSTA — Sen. Valentino, D-Saco, had a perfect attendance and voting record during the recently concluded legislative session.

“It has been an honor to represent the people of Senate District 31,” said Sen. Valentino. “They elected me to show up and be their voice in Augusta and I’m proud my voting record shows I’ve done just that.”
