Does the State of Maine owe you money?

Working on contacting people in District 136 who are on the unclaimed property list provided by the State Treasurer. Definitely enjoyable to call people and help them get money they didn't even know was owed to them!

Want to find out if you are on the list and claim your unclaimed property check out this web-site https://www.maine.gov/treasurer/unclaimed_property/online/

It's That Time Again

Election time is quickly approaching. After an interesting and challenging two years in Augusta I am honored to be running for re-election to the Maine House of Representatives for House District 136. I'm working to collect 25 signatures from registered Democrats living in House District 136 so I can qualify for re-election. If you want to sign for me just send me an e-mail at megan.rochelo@gmail.com

Why I'm Running as a Clean Elections Candidate

Like the current Senate President Libby Mitchell, Republican Peter Mills and nearly 80% of the Maine legislature, I think that running a campaign free of the influence of lobbyists and donors makes sense and is the right thing to do. Especially in these hard times, people need representatives that will choose to run "clean" elections. Clean Elections was passed overwhelmingly by Maine voters and they have continued to support the idea of having elections where everyday people can run and not have to rely on wealthy friends and lobbyists. That is also why our current US Rep Chellie Pingree has signed onto a federal clean elections bill and her daughter, Speaker of the House Hannah Pingree went down and testified in favor of it. Getting money out of politics in Maine and DC makes sense.
