THE ISSUE
While Maine’s Congressional delegation is home for the August recess, groups around the state are holding events to draw their attention to critical issues. We’ve compiled a list of the actions we’ve found. Rep. Jared Golden (D) held constituent coffees in Bangor and Lewiston earlier this week, but Rep. Chellie Pingree (D), Sen. Angus King (I), and Sen. Susan Collins (R) have not yet scheduled any public meetings with constituents. You can request a meeting by contacting their district offices. Find that contact info on our Civic Dashboard. And check this page often, as we are continually adding events!
