For those who are traveling over the holidays, please remember to buckle up. And as many of us spend time with our families, let’s also be sure to give thanks those workers who are on the job keeping all of us safe. #UnionsForAll #1U

Congratulations, Governor-elect Janet Mills!

[Working Maine @WorkingMaine]

Once again, Gov. LePage is on the wrong side of the law. And, once again, Janet Mills for Governor is on the right side of the law:

"The governor’s views in these cases are counter to Maine’s tradition of acceptance. They are also counter to state law."

[Working Maine @WorkingMaine]

Thank you, Jared Golden for Congress, for fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare.

[Working Maine @WorkingMaine]

What a disappointment, U.S. Senator Susan Collins.

[Working Maine @WorkingMaine]

Please call 866-426-2631 and DEMAND Senator Collins vote NO on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination! After numerous attempts to take away healthcare, Republican Senate leaders are rushing to confirm this extremist to the Supreme Court before Oct 1!

[Working Maine @WorkingMaine]

The administration wants a Supreme Court that will rubber stamp its anti-immigrant and anti-worker policies. We see through these hateful efforts to divide this nation, and further rig the economy against immigrants... https://t.co/ub5v9YhN2J

[Working Maine @WorkingMaine]

We’ve got to act now! The allegations against Brett Kavanaugh need to be taken seriously. Dr. Blasey Ford deserves to be heard. Respect the voice of women. CALL 866-426-2631 NOW and demand Senator Collins VOTE NO and #StopKavanaugh. There’s too much at stake.
