  • How Trump Could Help Decide Who Wins Control of the Maine Senate
    Page 1 1 of 76 DOCUMENTS Bangor Daily News (Maine) September 25, 2018 Tuesday How Trump could help decide who wins control of the Maine Senate BYLINE: Michael Shepherd BDN Staff LENGTH: 1492 words Good morning from Augusta, where new sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump's Su- preme Court nominee and confusion about the job status of the deputy attorney general got us thinking about where the president is most and least popular in Maine. We sorted the results of the 2016 presidential election between Trump, a Republican, and Democrat Hillary Clinton by Maine Senate district. It reveals some parallels to national polling showing that under Trump, Re- publicans are increasingly struggling in suburban areas that they have held in the past. Maine is lukewarm on Trump as a whole. A recent poll from Suffolk University found a 41 percent approval rating for the president here, which effectively matched past polls from Morning Consult that put the state near the middle of the pack nationally on Trump. The subtle divisions in his approval could be a key factor in elections here. Some of the most interesting ones come when thinking about control of the Maine Senate, which is controlled by Republicans who hold just a 18-17 lead on Democrats. The smallest switch could flip it. There are eight districts where Trump won a majority of votes. The one where he was most popular is held by a Democrat. Trump, who won the 2nd Congressional District but lost Maine at large to Clinton, only won majorities in eight of Maine's 35 Senate districts.

As working people, we look for the Legislature to: • reflect our core values of fairness, solidarity and economic justice; • do everything within its power to support workers and their families; • and take proactive measures to create a just economy. The Maine AFL-CIO is a statewide federation of more than 160 local labor unions in Maine. We represent more than 40,000 Maine workers and retirees delivering public services or working at paper mills, shipyards, hospitals, construction sites, utilities, and in manyother industries. We represent these workers and their families at the Legislature, and we organize 2018 Maine AFL-CIO COPE Convention together year round for workers’ rights and economic justice. This legislative scorecard seeks to capture the votes that were of the greatest importance to working people in the second session of the 128th Maine Legislature (2018). It provides information on those bills and lets you know how your legislators voted. Our Legislative Committee and Executive Board carefully reviewed all the bills that came before the State Legislature and selected which bills to work on and to score. We hope you find the scorecard useful and that you will use it to hold your state legislators accountable.

  • Maine Legislative Alert
    MAINE LEGISLATIVE ALERT Legislation: None Status: Law in place Points of Contact: Your local State Representative and Senator can be found by visiting: http://legislature.maine.gov/house/townlist.htm Analysis Maine has a restrictive dietetics law which requires a dietician to do pretty much everything. Title 32, Chapter 104 §9915 provide some exemptions to the licensure law, including individuals “who give general nutrition-related information”, and those who provide weight control services so long as there is a supervising dietitian. Recommendations Although there is no legislation we should educate and encourage, while the legislature is in session, an expansion of the exemption language. SAMPLE LETTER TO SEND TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) May 5, 2017 Dear ____________: As your constituent, I am writing to ask that you sponsor legislation to amend Title 32, Chapter 104 §9915 to allow for greater choice, more employment, lower costs, and more competition, in the practice of nutrition care. Presently, only a licensed dietician or nutritionist may provide nutrition care including assessment, goal setting, counseling or advice. This law has had the unfortunate affect of giving one nutrition philosophy a monopoly over the whole practice of nutrition. No one group should have this monopoly, and no one method, practice, education, or philosophy is right for everyone. As a supporter of holistic nutrition, which seeks to heal the “whole” body, and provide a comprehensive assessment, I would like to see a more broad and diverse choice in nutrition providers. Nutrition is not “one size fits all” and it’s important that the practice of nutrition is open to all philosophies, not only to have gainful employment and improve the health of all citizens, but to provide maximum competition which gives maximum choice for consumers and helps to lower costs.

  • 2019 Legislative Scorecard for the 129Th Maine Legislature
    Maine State Employees Association, SEIU Local 1989’s 2019 Legislative Scorecard for the 129th Maine Legislature SOMSEA See whether your state senator and state representative voted for or against MSEA and workers on key issues we tracked. During the 2019 legislation, we tracked the votes of every state legislator on key issues impacting Maine workers. Use this Scorecard to look up whether your state senator and state representative voted for or against MSEA and workers on our issues: • Approving the bipartisan two-year state budget (LD 1001, signed into law by Governor Mills). We supported the final budget. It addresses understaffing, funds our Judicial and Executive Branch contracts, and increases funding for Child Development Services, Governor Baxter School for the Deaf/MECDHH, and the Maine Community College System. It makes investments in local schools and progress on property tax relief by increasing revenue sharing. It also strengthens the Property Tax Fairness Credit. • Strengthening workers’ rights (LD 1177, vetoed by Governor Mills). This legislation would have strengthened collective bargaining rights by making arbitration binding on key economic issues for public workers. The rights of public workers need to be strengthened to defend our families and the services we provide to the people of Maine. While we’re encouraged it passed in both the Maine House and the Maine Senate, we remain disappointed Gov. Mills vetoed it. We’ll keep fighting to strengthen collective bargaining rights. • Providing pay parity for Maine DHHS MSEA-SEIU PASER Member Frank Geagan, at right, asks his State Senator, Brad Farrin, to support caseworkers (LD 428, carried over to the January a comprehensive study of compensation for state employees March 13 during the Maine AFL- 2020 legislative session).

The Maine Hospital Associaon does not endorse candidates for office. Nor do we compile scorecards or rangs for candidates. This guide is merely meant to be a resource for you to idenfy your local candidates. Overview. All 151 House members and 35 Senators are on the ballot this year. Addionally, for the first me in eight years, the office of Governor is open and four candidates are on the ballot. There are also three mid‐term federal races this year, both Congressional seats and the Senate seat currently occupied by Senator Angus King (who is seeking re‐elecon). Parsan Breakdown. There will be a fair amount of turnover this year as Maine’s term limit law connues to have some effect. The four‐term/eight‐year limits are having more impact on Republicans this cycle versus Democrats. Eight years ago, Governor LePage led a “Red Wave” in Maine that saw Republicans take control of both the House and Senate for the first me in decades. Many of those Republicans are now being termed out. Democrats Republicans Independents Current Senate 17 18 0 Senate Termed‐out 1 7 0 Rering 1 3 0 Senate Total 2 10 0 In the Senate, seven Republicans are termed‐out compared to only one Democrat. Furthermore, three Republicans who could seek re‐elecon have chosen to rere instead compared to only one Democrat. Accordingly, almost 90 percent of Senate Democrats are running for re‐elecon to the Senate compared to only half of Republicans.
