Campaign money from the Ethics Commission's files (MapLight) and, for 2025 and cash on hand, its campaign reports; financial disclosures and lobbying from the Commission too; the Legislature's bills and votes from Open States, checked against the House's own roll calls; home values from the towns' assessors; and the candidates from the Secretary of State.

How this works

Every candidate on Maine's November ballot and every member of the Legislature: the money behind each campaign, Clean Election public funding, what outside groups spend for and against them, what lobbyists report about them, how members vote, the sources of income on their financial disclosures, and the homes they own.
