Through the overwhelming victory (86% support) of Ballot Question 2 in Maine in 2023, the Maine Ethics Commission was charged with issuing an annual report “identifying anti-corruption amendment proposals introduced in Congress, and the members of Maine’s Congressional Delegation sponsoring such proposals.” 

To support the Commission in carrying out its charge, today American Promise submitted its 2025 comments. Our comments have two objectives: (1) to update the Commission on the progress of nationwide efforts to urge Congress to propose an anti-corruption amendment to the U.S. Constitution, similar to Maine’s Ballot Question 2 , and (2) to identify whether members of Maine’s Congressional Delegation are presently sponsoring such proposals in the 119th Congress.
