Below is a list of the Maine AFL-CIO's endorsed candidates for the Maine Senate and House of Representatives. Every election year, we send a survey to each candidate asking where they stand on key labor priorities, including collective bargaining rights, the minimum wage, health care, labor standards, economic security, workplace safety, racial justice and more.
The responses we receive are then evaluated by union members on our Political Committee, which then sends a list of endorsement recommendations to our Executive Board. After the E-Board evaluates the list, it votes on the slate and sends the recommendations to our COPE Convention where delegates from the 180 unions in our labor federation vote on the list of endorsement recommendations. If you have questions about endorsements, please email Adam at MaineAFLCIO dot com
