Maine blazed the trail for full public financing of campaigns when it passed its Clean Elections law in 1996. Now more than ten years down the line the program is still going strong, enjoying high participation and popularity among Maine's voters. This article profiles one candidate who is running for a seat in the state House and is doing so under the Clean Elections program. It's interesting to read through his candidate platform and imagine his proposing what he proposes while still having to fundraise in the traditional manner.
