Mission

The mission of Maine People Before Politics is to promote and advance policies that benefit the people of Maine by creating an environment conducive to job growth, with the intent of ultimately fueling Maine’s economy, to conduct research and educate the public about issues related to economic growth, and to provide a voice for the people of Maine free of special interests.

Maine People Before Politics supports policies that workmany of these policies are already at work in other states, and their citizens are reaping the benefits. Maine people should reap the benefits, too.

Many of the policies MBPB  supports will be decided by the Maine people at the ballot box or by the legislature. Our goal is to help educate Mainers and our government officials to make sound policy choices. There is no better way to further the prosperity of Mainers than researching policies, provide data-backed analysis and recommendations, and fostering debate on the issues.

MPBP is independent; it is not affiliated with any political party or organization. Further, Maine People Before Politics does not endorse candidates.
