An amendment to a bill, LD 1229, would double the contribution limits for privately funded candidates, allowing even more money to flow into candidate races. It's a "stealth" bill that has quickly made its way through the Legislature — it didn't receive a public hearing, and the public never had their chance to weigh in. It was just passed in the Maine House. Next, it heads to the Senate.

We need to urge our Senators to vote NO on LD 1229.
