It's Election Season - An Excellent Time to Invite Candidates to Your Facility

Candidates are out campaigning and seeking election, so now is an excellent time to invite those running to become your next state senator and representative to your facility. Facility tours are vital in helping current and future lawmakers learn about long term care and discuss how they can support this key part of the health care continuum. An informed legislature is crucial to ensuring our elected officials understand the importance of Maine's nursing facilities, residential care centers, and assisted living programs.

You can find your current state representative at https://legislature.maine.gov/house/house/MemberProfiles/ListAlphaTown and your state senator at https://legislature.maine.gov/senate-home-page/find-your-state-senator. And you can find the current house candidates at https://ballotpedia.org/Maine_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2024.

MHCA is available to help! Our advocacy resources page has guides on grassroots efforts, including how to host a facility tour. We can also help with anything from drafting an invitation, coordinating the day-of tour, or with follow-up documents. Give us a call or email us if you have any questions.
