More on the Candidates (Work in Progress):
Chellie Pingree for ME-01 House of Representatives
Chellie Pingree is the incumbent candidate for Maine's district one of the United States House of Representatives. Since she was first elected in 2008, she has maintained a strong voting record which centers people and planet. She currently sits on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, chairing the Subcommittee on Interior and the Environment, the Subcommittee on Agriculture, and Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. She also sits on the House Agriculture Committee.
Among other issues important to Mainers, Chellie has been an advocate in Congress for reforming federal policy to better support the diverse range of American agriculture—including sustainable, organic, and locally focused farming—as well as to reduce food waste.
Graham Platner for ME Senate
Graham Platner is the up and coming candidate for Maine's United States Senate. He's been making waves not only in the race against incumbent Susan Collins, but among the democratic party as well for his progressive, worker-centered values and platform. An oysterman, Platner has a strong understanding of climate impacts on our state including the effects of warming waters and increasingly unpredictable severe weather, and his ultimate goal of improving the cost of living for Mainers includes plans to address soaring energy costs.

These candidates are proven environmental champions with records demonstrating their commitment to sustainability, climate action, and environmental justice.
