Dear John,
Across Maine, people are feeling the impacts of climate change firsthand—from more extreme storms and droughts to disappearing farmland and eroding water quality to volatile electricity bills driven by our reliance on natural gas. Our priorities for the 2026 legislative session, which we announced yesterday with our partners in Maine’s Environmental Priorities Coalition , reflect the urgency of these crises, with common-sense reforms and measures that will lower costs while prioritizing the health of Maine people and the environment.
The seven priorities for 2026 include:
* LD 1870 [[link removed]] : Making polluters pay for climate damages
* LD 1949 [[link removed]] : Protecting Mainers from skyrocketing utility costs
* LD 646 [[link removed]] : Addressing stormwater pollution
* LD 785 [[link removed]] : Wabanaki sovereignty
* LD 362 [[link removed]] : Funding Land for Maine’s Future
* LD 2141 [[link removed]] : Conserving the lakes and farmland of Maine
* LD 1730 [[link removed]] : Expanding access to clean, affordable solar energy

As soon as next week, we’ll be rallying in Augusta to show support for one of this year’s key priorities – Making polluters pay for climate damages. If enacted, this bill would compel the world’s largest oil and gas companies to pay for the damage they’ve caused to Maine through climate change. Maine lawmakers need to see that there is broad public support for this bill from across the state.
