AUGUSTA, Maine — Sen. Mike Carpenter, D-Houlton, made the “2017-18 Honor Roll” from the Maine Conservation Voters for his consistent support for the state’s environment, as well as policies that protect public health from toxic chemicals and advance the development and adoption of clean, renewable energy.
Maine Conservation Voters scored nine key environmental votes during this year’s legislative session. Sen. Carpenter received a 100 percent score for his votes.
“Between logging, farming and fishing, Aroostook County’s way of life and economic heritage has long been tied to our natural resources,” said Carpenter. “I’m proud to do my part to maintain this heritage and protect our environment for generations to come.”
Carpenter joins 15 other Senate Democrats and one Senate Republican who earned perfect scores for their votes on conservation, energy efficiency, clean power generation and public health.
He is serving his first term in the Legislature representing Senate District 2, which includes central and southern Aroostook County and parts of northern Penobscot County.
