John Patrick is outspoken and unwavering in his support for Maine workers. His dedication and experience are what is needed to create jobs and strengthen Maine’s economy.

He strongly believes that folks who work 40 hours or more per week should not have to live in poverty. He recognizes that Maine’s economy depends on jobs that pay a livable wage, because when hard-working families earn more, they can spend more, which is good for local businesses.

He also believes that people who work hard and play by the rules shouldn’t have to depend on public assistance to make ends meet. Tax dollars should not be spent subsidizing employers who are failing to pay a living wage.

In the state Senate, John Patrick has been a strong advocate for Maine workers, and he deserves support Nov. 8.
