  • Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch Mcconnell Senate Majority
    Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Senator McConnell, Nearly 55 million workers across the country lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, and millions more fail to take full advantage of employer-supported plans. Without access to easy and affordable retirement savings options, far too many workers are on track to retire into poverty where they will depend on Social Security, state, and federal benefit programs for their most basic retirement needs. States across the country have been innovating to address this problem. We are writing to respectfully urge you to protect the rights of states and large municipalities to implement their own, unique approaches. Last week, two resolutions of disapproval (H.J. Res 66, H.J. Res 67) were introduced to repeal key Department of Labor (US DOL) rules. If passed, these resolutions would make it more difficult for states and municipalities to seek solutions to the growing retirement savings crisis. We ask that you support the role of states as policy innovators by voting “No” on H.J. Res 66 and H.J. Res 67. Thirty states and municipalities are in the process of implementing or exploring the establishment of state-facilitated, private-sector retirement programs. Eight states have passed legislation to allow individuals to save their own earnings for retirement (no employer funds are involved as these are not defined benefit plans). While most state and municipal plans will be governed by independent boards, the day-to-day investment management and recordkeeping would not be conducted by the state, but rather by private sector firms - the same financial institutions that currently provide retirement savings products.

  • 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.

  • 2018 ELECTION RESULTS DISPATCH the INITIAL RESULTS November 7, 2018
    2018 ELECTION RESULTS DISPATCH THE INITIAL RESULTS November 7, 2018 Maine Democrats walked away from yesterday’s 2018 midterm elections controlling a state government trifecta - flipping the Maine Senate, increasing their margin in the House of Representatives, and picking up a governorship that is as symbolic to them as it is substantive. Their victorious evening comes after nearly a decade of elections where the GOP stayed on an impressive electoral offensive. No review of last night’s results could begin without the state’s marquee contest: the gubernatorial race between Democratic Attorney General Janet Mills and Republican Gorham businessman Shawn Moody. Unenrolled State Treasurer Terry Hayes failed to live up to expectations and may have even hindered Moody’s vote totals, as Mills was declared the winner before midnight. The final tally of the race will likely show Moody trailing by the high single-digits as Mills’ vote total currently sits at more than 52% of votes cast. The Democrats will now find their own champion in the Blaine House following Governor Paul LePage’s two terms as Maine’s Chief Executive. LePage reshaped Maine’s electoral and policy landscapes, and Democrats will view Mills’ victory as a referendum on the tenor and direction that defined those years. At the federal level, popular Unenrolled Sen. Angus King easily cruised to reelection in a three- way race with Republican Eric Brakey and Democrat Zak Ringelstein. U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree also prevailed in Maine’s more southerly 1st Congressional District over Republican Mark Holbrook and Democratic-turned-Unenrolled state representative Marty Grohman.
