Powered by people, not big money.
Maine Clean Elections lets candidates run on small, equal contributions from the voters they'd represent, instead of corporate PACs and big donors. To qualify for public funding, I need $5 qualifying contributions from registered voters right here in District 140. Once I qualify, I run on public funds and take no corporate or special-interest money. It doesn't get more local than that.
Two easy ways
Give $5 online
Head to Maine's Clean Elections online portal and make your $5 contribution to Kirstan Watson (House District 140). You'll be matched against the voter file to confirm you're registered. That's what makes it count.
Or write a $5 check
Make a $5 check or money order payable to the Maine Clean Election Fund and mail it to the campaign with a signed Receipt & Acknowledgment form. Reach out and we'll get one to you.
You must be a registered Maine voter in District 140 (Arundel, Dayton & eastern Lyman) for a $5 gift to count as a qualifying contribution. Not sure? Register to vote.
$5. That's how we keep it local.
Every qualifying contribution is a neighbor saying: this seat belongs to us.
