About Kilton
Working for our community.
My name is Kilton Webb. I am a lifelong mainer living in Durham. After graduation, I struggled to find a clear path for my future. Thankfully, I found an Apprenticeship program that trained me to become an Electrician. After joining my local union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 567, I found my purpose. I have become very active in the Union movement in Maine as well as a strong advocate for the working class.
Every year I am a proud participant in Labor Lobby Day, a day in which a large group of workers come together at the state house to personally speak to our legislators in support of a few key labor bills selected by the Maine AFL-CIO. My Labor Lobby Day experiences have given me the skills needed to successfully persuade our legislators to support the bills that matter to our community.
I have also had the honor of being elected chairman of my local union's Young Worker Committee. I used my position to get us a seat at the bargaining table and I helped advocate for a refund of the apprentice pension.
I am running to represent District 98 in the state house because I believe we need more working-class Mainers in Augusta. It often feels like the voice of the worker isn't being heard in Augusta and I want to rectify that. Maine has a great opportunity to continue being a leader in the Clean Energy Revolution with the Offshore Wind Port being proposed. As someone in the construction industry, I want to make sure that this work comes to Maine, and that it is done correctly, in the best possible location, employing Mainers like myself.
If elected I will work hard to represent all the men and women in our district. Unlike our current representation, I will show up in Augusta to advocate on behalf of our district. I won't be swayed by party politics. Instead, I will support common-sense policies that benefit all the hard-working men and women in our state. I believe that if you work hard you should be able to afford to live comfortably in our state and I will work hard to make that a reality for all the members of our community.
