Reclaiming the Maine Dream
Maine, a state celebrated for its natural beauty, resilient people, and deep-rooted sense of community, has long been synonymous with the American dream. Yet, over the past several decades, this dream has increasingly slipped beyond reach for too many Mainers. Misguided policies, economic stagnation, and neglected opportunities have led generations to seek better prospects elsewhere. It’s time to reverse this trend.
At Maine for Keeps, we believe that the path to revitalizing our beloved state lies in bold, thoughtful policy solutions. Our non-profit is committed to partnering with policy experts, community leaders, business owners, and everyday Mainers to develop innovative strategies aimed at breathing new life into Maine’s economy.
Together, we’ll tackle the tough questions:
-
How can we attract sustainable, good-paying jobs that align with Maine’s strengths?
-
What policies must change to encourage entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation?
-
How can we ensure our children can build prosperous futures right here in Maine?
Maine for Keeps is dedicated to removing the barriers holding back our state’s immense potential. With collaborative efforts and evidence-based solutions, we aim to restore economic vitality, create abundant opportunities, and make it possible once again for Maine people to fully experience the American dream without ever having to leave home.
