Maine elections see big Democratic donors
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A group linked to Democratic mega-donors has given half a million dollars to a union-backed organization hoping to influence this year's state elections, according to state campaign finance reports filed this month.
The reports show that the Democracy Alliance's State Victory Fund LLC contributed $500,000 to Rebuild Maine, a group founded by Maine's largest unions and the Maine People's Alliance.
Democracy Alliance spokeswoman Elizabeth Bartolomeo said the limited liability company is "dedicated to funding efforts in states that will help expand and engage voters about issues they care about and inspire participation in our democracy.
