Testimony before the Joint Standing Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs LD 300 – An Act To Preserve Funding for the Maine Clean Election Act by Removing Gubernatorial Candidates from Eligibility (Rep. Sutton) February 17, 2017 Senator Mason, Representative Luchini, and members of the Joint Standing Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs: Thank you for the opportunity to testify on LD 300 – An Act to Preserve Funding for the Maine Clean Election Act by Removing Gubernatorial Candidates from Eligibility. My name is Andrew Bossie. I am the Executive Director of Maine Citizens for Clean Elections. Maine Citizens for Clean Elections has been the leading campaign finance organization in Maine for over twenty years and one of the nation’s most respected state-based organizations advocating for democratically funded elections. We are proud of our national reputation, but we are all Mainers, and our mission has always been with and for the people of this state. We are strongly opposed to LD 300 for the following reasons. First, this bill would substitute the legislature’s judgment for the clearly expressed will of the voters. The gubernatorial funding system is a fundamental part of the Clean Election program approved by voters in 1996 and again in 2015. Where the people have spoken loudly, clearly, and repeatedly, we urge you to respect their decision. We respectfully point out that the sponsor of this bill, Representative Sutton, was the driving force behind the political action committee that fought a losing fight against the citizen initiative. It is certainly her prerogative to continue that fight here in this committee, but we urge you to stand with the people of Maine and reject this bill.

Strong and Steady Turnout on Election Day in Fryeburg
Page 1 1 of 89 DOCUMENTS The Caledonian-Record (Vermont) June 12, 2018 Tuesday Strong and steady turnout on election day in Fryeburg BYLINE: Staff Writer SECTION: REGIONAL LENGTH: 842 words FRYEYBURG, Maine -- Voters were coming through the American Legion doors at a steady pace to vote for local candidates and the Fryeburg marijuana ordinance on Tuesday, according to town election workers. Polls closed at 8 p.m., after Sun press deadlines. However, initial results will be posted on conwaydailysun.com. Full results and an analysis will appear in Thursday's paper. Tom Kingsbury, one of two candidates for an open Fryeburg selectman seat, greeted voters Tuesday outside the door to the polling place and said from what he saw, the turnout was good. "This morning by 8 a.m. there were already people out to here," he said gesturing to the front of the American Legion building. "Just putting the name with the face has probably gathered me a few votes so it's worthwhile me being here," said Kingsbury, 70. The other candidate for selectman is David Brown, 58. Ballots also were cast in other races. Mary Di Nucci, Nicole Goggin and Allison Leach were vying for two three-year terms on the MSAD 72 school board. An open Maine House District 70 seat was also on the ballot. Incumbent state Rep. Nathan Wadsworth of Hiram is unopposed on the Republican primary ballot. Hoping for his seat are Democrats Nathan Burnett of Hiram and Warren Richardson of Fryeburg. District 70 includes Fryeburg, Brownfield, Hiram, Porter and Lovell, Maine.

Bangor Daily News Governor Race Spending Already Tops $7.5 Million
Bangor Daily News Governor race spending already tops $7.5 million 6/11/10 | By Kevin Miller BDN Staff AUGUSTA, Maine — The November election may still be six months away, yet the 2010 race for the Blaine House is already the most expensive gubernatorial election in Maine history. But in a testament to the fact that big spending doesn’t always get big returns at the ballot box, the candidate who received the most votes on Tuesday — Republican nominee Paul LePage — spent less than all but one of the 10 other primary candidates. Collectively, the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor spent more than $7.5 million on their primary campaigns, according to preliminary campaign finance reports filed with the Maine Ethics Commission. Put in perspective, that not only obliterates the previous record for primary spending, but it also eclipses the roughly $5.5 million spent by all candidates in the entire 1994 race and the $5.1 million spent in 2006. In fact, the amount of money expended so far on the 2010 race soon will surpass the $8.6 million spent during the 2002 and 2006 gubernatorial campaigns combined — if it hasn’t already. Two of the independent, or unenrolled, candidates in this year’s race already have raised or lent themselves more than $1.2 million. The last time there was an “open seat” for governor in Maine, five candidates ended up on the 2002 primary or November ballots and along the way spent $3.5 million. Then-U.S. Rep. John Baldacci spent the most that year at $1.6 million.

Senate Democrats picked up six seats and will hold a 51-49 majority in the 110th Congress. In the House, Democrats picked up 29 seats and now hold a 231-197 majority with seven races still too close to call. In the 109th Congress, Republicans controlled the Senate 55-45 and the House 232-203. The change in leadership puts a whole new set of issues on the congressional agenda and will reshape the last two years of the Bush presidency. This document provides a brief overview of how the 2007-2008 outlook on key issues has changed with the Democratic takeover of Congress. Democratic Priorities Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi laid out a broad, unified agenda in June when they launched their “Six for ‘06” campaign, which included six broad themes they highlighted as Democratic priorities. Below is how the Democrats summarized these goals in a press release: • Make Health Care More Affordable: Fix the prescription drug program by putting people ahead of drug companies and HMO’s, eliminating wasteful subsidies, negotiating lower drug prices and ensuring the program works for all seniors; invest in stem cell and other medical research.

Legislative history: http://www.mainecharterschools.org/Maine's%2QLegislatioii/Historv%2Qof%2QBiHs.htm')C History of Charter School Legislation in Maine Historic School Choice in Maine Maine has had forms of school choice for decades, as has New Hampshire and Vermont. Towns that do not have their own schools, mostly at the high school level, allow parents to choose among public and private schools in the vicinity, with the tuition paid by the town. Some districts provide choices among public elementary programs, for example, the Mast Landing School in Freeport hosts 3 different programs. These choice options have worked well for many Maine communities, and expanding public school choices for more Maine children would give a boost to the state's goal of "success for all children." Charter Schools Proposed to Expand School Choice to All Maine Children. Charter schools are a recent addition to public school choice programs that draws on the history of independently-managed public academies in New England. Educators and citizens in Maine have been exploring the concept of public school choice for several years. After several different bills were submitted to the Legislature in 1997, at the request of the Legislature's Joint Standing Committee on Education, the State Board of Education conducted a study of Charter Schools in 1997-1998. In 1998, a group of educators began meeting to discuss what an effective charter school law would look like for, and how to adapt the concept to meet the particular needs of Maine.
