Our Story

Across the 35,000 square miles of mountains, lakes, and coast that make up our state,working Mainers are being tested like never before...

Our way of life is under assault.

Families are struggling to put food on the table and keep their homes warm. Rural hospitals are closing their doors. Out-of-state billionaires are bankrolling a Republican Party sprinting toward extremism, gutting the programs that help our communities thrive. A rapidly changing climate threatens our working waterfronts and the natural resources that have sustained us for generations. And our neighbors — people whose parents and grandparents built this state — are being priced out of the places they call home.

With determination, tenacity, and strength of will, Maine Democrats are fighting back. 

Guided by our state motto, Democrats rise to the occasion and lead with purpose and courage. We are organizing everywhere, fighting for everyone, and winning for Maine workers and families. Dirigo isn’t just a word on our seal; it is a commitment to guarantee the Maine way of life is attainable to every single person who calls this state home. That means building on victories like making health care affordable for every worker and increasing the minimum wage. 

We Mainers are fighting for our future with the grit and resolve that we deserve.

We refuse to let out-of-state billionaires and corporate interests take away our way of life. We don’t settle for what we are given; instead, we organize, we fight, and we win. 

Each morning, as our nation’s first sunrise dawns over Maine to begin a new day, the Maine Democratic Party is putting in the work – and we won’t rest until everyone has fully realized the lives they were meant to live in the greatest state in our nation.
