John—

I wanted to be sure you saw Maine's Environmental Scorecard that we emailed earlier this week. The Environmental Scorecard shows why accountability matters. Every vote cast in Augusta has real consequences for the clean air and water in Maine, our democracy, and our communities. At Maine Conservation Voters, this is how we shine a light on those decisions—and how we hold lawmakers responsible for the choices they make. 

As we head into the final days of the year, we’re preparing for the next legislative session—and the fights ahead. From protecting Maine people from toxic PFAS to advancing climate solutions and defending our democracy, we know the stakes couldn’t be higher. 

That’s why I hope you’ll consider making a year-end gift today. Every gift made before December 31st will be tripled, meaning your support goes three times as far to power our advocacy, accountability work, and grassroots organizing efforts in the year ahead. Monthly gifts go 12x further, counting for every month of the year. 

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in a better future for Maine. Together, we can continue to make Maine a leader in climate action.

Onward,
Team MCV

The Scorecard puts you in the room where it happened, taking you behind each bill and vote count with important facts and statistics alongside quotes and insights from lawmakers and policy advocates. This year, it grades lawmakers on the votes they took on six key bills, ranging from preventing spills of toxic PFAS to removing Maine from the National Popular Vote Compact to respecting the Wabanaki Nations’ inherent sovereignty. 

We can’t score every bill, but for those unscored bills salient to the environment and our democracy, we’ve included an “Other Noteworthy Bills” section. After that, we have a preview of the carry-over bills we’ll keep pushing forward in the second half of the 132nd session, beginning in January. 

The Scorecard is a critical and timely reminder that we can and must hold our elected officials responsible for their actions. And, with a few short weeks left before the start of the second half of the 132nd session, we’re ready and excited to keep fighting for solutions for Maine people and the environment.

Thank you for standing with us as we face consequential threats, seize opportunities, and hold our elected officials accountable for their votes.

Onward!
