Local Endorsements
God is glorified when families thrive, and life is cherished. Both of these can be inhibited, however, when local governments carelessly implement policies that make it difficult to honor God and easier to flout His judgments. It is, therefore, critical to fill school boards and select boards with men and women who hold fast to Biblical principles.
To that end, the Christian Civic League of Maine is now offering endorsements to local candidates. If a local candidate agrees with us on issues that affect religious freedom, parental rights, and Judeo-Christian ethics, and aligns themselves publicly with the values laid out in Scripture, we will endorse their candidacy.
If you are a local candidate who would like to be endorsed, please fill out this form.
