Maine AFL-CIO releases scorecards every year to grade how state legislators vote on key issues that impact Maine working families, labor, and unions. Here are the receipts on Rick’s scores:
-
Prior to 2025, in publicly available scorecards, Bennett averaged just 18% from the AFL-CIO, with a failing grade of 40% as recently as 2024.
-
In 2025, once he decided to run for governor, Rick got a 67% score from Maine AFL-CIO.

HERE ARE THE RECEIPTS
-
From 2021-2023, Rick repeatedly voted to advance “right to work” bills, including one that could punish workers who enforced mandatory union fees with jail time.
-
2023: He voted to weaken Maine’s child labor laws by allowing students to work 32 hours a week when school was in session.
