Maine Citizens for Clean Elections reports that the Maine House of Representatives will debate
and vote on LD300 - the bill that would repeal Clean Elections for
candidates for governor - this coming Tuesday. The Senate vote will follow shortly after. Says MCCE:
- Voters have twice voted for a strong Clean Election law, including funding for legislative and gubernatorial candidates.
- Mainers want and deserve a governor that works for voters, not one funded by wealthy special interests -- don't be responsible for taking this opportunity away and undermine what the people have said they want.
- Maine people voted by a 10-margin in 2015 to reinstate the Clean Election program for gubernatorial candidates after the legislature suspended this voter-enacted law in 2013.
- Other states, including Arizona and Connecticut, have elected governors who used Clean Elections. Maine has had Republicans, Democrats, and others use Clean Elections for their gubernatorial bids.
