“It just makes sense to support the workers who keep Maine running,” Nangle said. “When Maine’s workers do well, our whole economy does well. Fair wages, safe workplaces, and respect on the job keep our communities strong and Maine’s economy moving forward.”
Senator Nangle received a perfect score for supporting proposed legislation that would lower costs for Maine’s working families and protecting the state’s future as a place for families to live happily and raise a family.
During the 132nd Maine Legislature, Nangle supported legislation to:
* Protect the income of federal and state employees during government shutdowns
* Guarantee a minimum wage for Maine farm workers
* Fund Pre-K to 12 public education programs by making the wealthiest pay their fair share
* Strengthen pre-apprenticeship programs that bolster Maine’s workforce
* Improve recruitment, retention and pay for state employees
* Ensure that the workers powering Maine’s clean energy transition are compensated fairly with good benefits 
* Help law enforcement and first responders access treatment for PTSD.
* Fund Maine government services and programs, including education and revenue sharing.The senator also opposed a perennial effort that would weaken the ability of workers to organize for better wages and safe working conditions.
Since becoming a state senator, Nangle has consistently supported working families each year he’s served in the Maine Legislature, receiving a perfect score from the Maine AFL-CIO in 2023, 2024, and 2025. <
