October 3, 2006
The League of Young Voters' 2006 Endorsed Candidates were announced today in Portland.

"All the candidates share the common trait of keeping our communities strong with local control. They all will be voting NO on 1" said Justin Alfond, Maine State Director. In addition the candidates are taking leads on issues young people care about like ecological sustainability, affordable and efficient housing, cultivating a creative economy, sustainable transportation options, living wages and universal health care. "Our Endorsed State Candidates are proven leaders that will represent young people well in Augusta." said Alec Maybarduk, the League's Field Director.
