Ways to Support
Despite the record-breaking spending and the gigantically out-sized power of billionaires in the 2024 election, we see reasons to hope. The Maine Clean Elections program remains strong, with most candidates for the Maine legislature choosing to run Clean in 2024. We are also proud that in the second year of Portland’s new Clean Elections program, all 12 candidates for city council ran Clean, making a commitment to their constituents over big-money donors!
In the coming legislature, we are working to shore up funding for the Clean Elections program, including it as a robust option for candidates for Governor in 2026. We are also working to expand Clean Elections to county-level offices like sheriff, district attorney, and county commissioner.
Your support for MCCE powers our advocacy for Clean Elections and a genuinely accountable and representative government!
We couldn’t do this without you. Your $5, $25, $100 or $500 contribution puts power back in the hands of Maine people.
