MEA Endorsed Candidates

When it comes to politics and education, who we elect matters. It matters for your students. It matters for your work. It matters for education policies. The good news is, when it comes to politics and understanding where all the candidates stand, MEA members have done the homework for you. They’ve engaged with those who are running in Maine’s state and congressional races to ask them important questions on key education issues. Based on the candidates’ answers, MEA members make recommendations to choose who they believe will best represent the interest of Maine students and the profession. On the following pages are the candidates endorsed by the MEA members who participated in that process. Please note: the MEA does not spend dues dollars on political candidates in any way.

Gubernatorial Candidate Janet Mills 1st Congressional District Candidate Chellie Pingree 2nd Congressional District Candidate Jared Golden
