2024 Voter Guide

To protect our freedoms and secure our democracy, we believe it is critical to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

President

Kamala Harris believes in a future where everyone has the opportunity to get ahead. She'll support programs to strengthen the middle class and protect the rights of women to have control over their own bodies. She is also endorsed by Planned Parenthood, LGBTQ PAC, March for Our Lives, the Maine AFL-CIO, Sierra Club Maine, Maine Education Association, United Farm Workers, VoteVets, and more than 70 Tribal and Native American leaders.

Kamala D. Harris, Democrat

U.S. Senate

Your vote for these candidates is Ranked Choice. Democrat David Costello has pledged to take a more progressive and reformative approach, while Independent Incumbent Angus King acts as a "functional" Democrat who caucuses with Democrats in the Senate. While our charter prevents us from endorsing any candidate against a Democrat, we understand that some of our members may wish to vote for Angus King as well.

David Costello, democrat

angus king, independent


U.S. House

Voting for Democrat Jared Golden will help Democrats take back the House of Representatives, control the legislative agenda, and importantly, certify the 2024 election. To avoid a repeat of last January 6, it is imperative that Democrats take back the House of Representatives. Jared is also endorsed by End Citizens United, Human Rights Campaign, Maine AFL-CIO, National Education Association, the Wabanaki Alliance, and VoteVets.

Ballot Measure Question 1

Limit Contributions to Super PACs Initiative (2024)

YES

✅

A yes vote supports limiting the amount of campaign contributions to $5,000 from individuals and entities to political action committees that make independent expenditures. A yes vote on this measure is also supported by End Citizens United, Maine Citizens to End SuperPACs, RepresentUs, and Portland Press Herald.


Ballot Measure Question 2

Science and Technology Research and Commercialization Bond Issue (2024): We do not have an official position on this question; however, it is important to note that in order to get a bond measure on the ballot, the legislature needed to get a 2/3 majority vote on it, meaning that this measure has already received broad bipartisan support in the Maine legislature.

A yes vote supports authorizing $25 million in general obligation bonds to the Maine Technology Institute for research, development, and commercialization of Maine-based public and private institutions in support of technological innovation.

A no vote opposes authorizing $25 million in general obligation bonds to the Maine Technology Institute for research, development, and commercialization of Maine-based public and private institutions in support of technological innovation.


Ballot Measure Question 3

Historic Community Buildings Bond Issue (2024): We do not have an official position on this question; however, it is important to note that in order to get a bond measure on the ballot, the legislature needed to get a 2/3 majority vote on it, meaning that this measure has already received broad bipartisan support in the Maine legislature.

A yes vote supports authorizing $10 million in general obligation bonds for the restoration of local community buildings.


A no vote opposes authorizing $10 million in general obligation bonds for the restoration of local community buildings.


Ballot Measure Question 4

Development and Maintenance of Trails Bond Issue (2024): We do not have an official position on this question; however, it is important to note that in order to get a bond measure on the ballot, the legislature needed to get a 2/3 majority vote on it, meaning that this measure has already received broad bipartisan support in the Maine legislature.

Ballot Measure Question 5
