MWGO Legislative Priorities
Prior to each legislative session, the MWGO Advocacy Committee meets to pinpoint a select few priority bills to support or oppose as needed. The committee then devises an action plan for each bill, which could involve testifying before the Legislature, submitting written testimony, reaching out to specific legislators, educating our members via social media, and mobilizing our membership to contact lawmakers.
For more information, or to send along issues our committee should consider, please contact advocacy-chair@mwgo.org
So far in 2024, MWGO has identified several issues of interest to follow. We plan to add to this list in the coming months:
- Maine Trails Bond
- Tribal Sovereignty
- Allagash Wilderness Waterway
- Maine’s Outdoor Recreation Economy Roadmap
