State Rep. Gina Melaragno is running for re-election in Auburn House District 62. She is committed to improving the lives of her constituents and the people of Maine and, with a 100 percent attendance record for votes taken, she takes her job as a legislator seriously.

Melaragno is focused on the needs of the people in her district rather than political advancement. She grew up in Auburn and understands Auburn’s needs and how to represent them in Augusta.

Through her work on the Insurance and Financial Services Committee, she has helped to hold lobbyists accountable and to put the people of Maine first. The minimum wage referendum that will help low-wage workers and stimulate the local economy is modeled after her minimum wage bill.

Gina Melaragno works hard for Auburn in the Maine House of Representatives and I hope the voters in District 62 will support her in the June primary.
