Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on Maine's new publicly financed election system, which continues to draws admiring attention from the national media. Susan Longley of Liberty, Jolene Lovejoy of Rumford and Glenn Cummings of Portland, three publicly financed candidates for the Maine Legislature, traveled to Washington, D.C. earlier this month to address the national press corps. According to David Broder, the veteran political observer for the Washington Post, the Maine candidates provided the most dramatic evidence that efforts to find better ways to finance elections need not end in futility.
