Welcome to our post-session recap. It’s been a long journey for activists, lobbyists, and legislators. We’re here to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Each legislative session we focus on a number of bills relating to the Maine Clean Elections Act (MCEA) and other campaign finance reform. We fight big money in politics and advocate for transparency and fairness.

Last week the Legislature finally adjourned sine die after working into the wee morning hours. It means that the session has concluded for now and will reconvene in 2024.

The light is at the end of the tunnel, and the current legislative session is almost over.

It's time to rally. Governor Mills has vetoed a bill, LD 1610, that received bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.

This legislative session has been a whirlwind, and if you've gotten lost in all the details, we don't blame you. That's why we'll email you a post-session report that recaps our most vital bills (so far) in the 131st Legislature.

We're looking for dedicated volunteers that will help us educate and inform voters, boost our local guide to government, and inspire youth civic engagement.

The Legislature was originally scheduled to conclude mid-June, but here we are hurtling into mid-July with work still to do.

We feel like we say this every week, but there's still work to do in the Legislature. We know things should wrap up soon so that we can all enjoy the summer, but here is what remains.

This is it — the final countdown.
