In 2024, a record number of Maine voters proved that "We, the People" are united in our desire to limit donations to Super PACs, smother any appearance of quid pro quo corruption, and restore our faith in our political system.

Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig explains a promising new strategy to stop the surge of dark money in politics.
Billionaires, corporations, and other wealthy interests are currently able to make unlimited contributions to “super PACs” that are not controlled by candidates or political parties, even when they spend money to support or oppose specific candidates. These unlimited contributions to super PACs in federal elections often rise to the level of millions of dollars, presenting the threat of corruption in the political process and staggering influence by the ultra-wealthy.
The Abolish Super PACs Act is legislation that seeks to put an end to super PACs in federal elections. The bill would place a $5,000 per calendar year limit on contributions to super PACs, effectively abolishing them.
