Labor Leaders Voice Support for Marcus Mrowka’s State House Candidacy
Current and Former Leaders of AFT and SEIU Highlight Mrowka’s Commitment to Public Education and Issues that Matter to Working People
Current and former leaders of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and SEIU announced their support of Marcus Mrowka’s State House candidacy. The leaders of two of the nation’s largest unions highlighted Mrowka’s commitment to public education and the issues that matter to working people. They also shared how his deep experience in the labor movement would help him deliver for the people of Camden and Rockport once elected.
AFT President Randi Weingarten:
"Whether it's championing great public schools that all our students deserve or fighting for working people to have a decent life, Marcus doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. I've worked with Marcus for years. He cares deeply, shows up for people, gets results, and believes fiercely in fairness and opportunity for all. I've witnessed this through his work with AFT and our members, and his leadership on the Five Town CSD and Camden-Rockport Schools school boards. His focus is always on finding real solutions that will create a better future for kids, families, and our communities. I know he will bring that same passion and commitment to deliver for the people of Camden and Rockport in the State House. I'm proud to support him."
SEIU President Emeritus Andy Stern:
“Marcus isn’t a politician who just talks about working people — he’s spent years in the trenches fighting alongside them. I know from working with him at SEIU that he brings integrity, determination, and a real commitment to fairness. He understands what families are up against and has the experience and values to represent them well in the Maine State House.”
Former SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger:
“Elections matter. And electing candidates who stand with workers and share their values, understand their issues, and are determined to improve the lives of workers is crucial. I worked with Marcus at SEIU when we pushed candidates to understand what workers face every day. Marcus is an advocate for working people in his core. He is smart, determined, and focused, and will never let the families of Maine down. A vote for Marcus is a vote for your future.”
