Election 2026
Independent, source-first accountability
Issue record
In short
Brian Poindexter's campaign says workers should be free to organize without intimidation and that unions mean safer workplaces and fair pay. Max Miller's campaign says the American dream does not need a four-year degree, backs workforce and career education, and states no position on union organizing. On the record, Miller sponsored workforce and career education bills in both terms, including the American Workforce Act twice, and none became law.

Evidence timeline
official action
He sponsored workforce and career education bills in both of his terms, including the American Workforce Act twice, and none became law.
His campaign says he has made it his mission to expand workforce development and career and technical education opportunities. He has sponsored on the subject in both Congresses he has served: the American Workforce Act in the 118th and again in the 119th, the Career and Technical Education Advocacy Grant Program Act in the 118th, and the Foster Youth Workforce Opportunity Act in the 119th, which reached the Union Calendar. None became law. Congress.gov records forty-six sponsored items for him across the two Congresses and none of them has become law. Limit: Repeated sponsorship across two Congresses is evidence of the mission the claim describes. Sponsoring is not enacting, and none of these bills became law; a member's influence on a subject can also run through committee work and amendments, which a sponsorship record does not show.
