MAINE HOUSE LABOR VOTES 2005

NOTE: The chart below covers ten key votes of importance to working families in Maine cast by Maine representatives at the 2005 session of the Maine Legislature. It gives the name, party affiliation, home town and Legislative District of each of the 151 members of the Maine House. The names are arranged alphabetically.

An "R" indicates a "right" vote and a "W" indicates a "wrong" vote. The number at the top of the column indicates the measure that was voted on. The final column, to the far right, indicates the percentage of "right" votes cast during the 2005 session. The percentage is based on total votes actually cast. If the representative is absent or excused there is an "X". The material "Labor Vote Information" below provides a brief description of the measure vote on, the Legislative Document (LD) number, the roll call number in the Senate (SRC) or in the House (HRC).

TO FIND: To find your representative on the chart - hold down the control (CTRL) key and at the same time hit "F" on your key board. The "Find" dialog box will pop up on your screen. Type in the last name of your representative, click "find" and the computer will find the name on the chart and highlight it in reverse type. A number of representatives have the same last name. If the first one found is not your representative, click on "find next."
