Our State Legislature
Our elected officials make decisions on a wide range of issues that affect our health, economy, and way of life. We need strong political leaders who know that a healthy economy depends on a healthy environment, and who will work to preserve our natural resources.
It's important for Maine citizens to let our elected representatives know that we value our natural resources, to share our views on important policy proposals, and to find out how they vote on those issues. The Maine League of Conservation Voters can help you do all that.
