"Our first grandchild was born recently. One of the many things we hope for her is that someday she will be an informed citizen and voter. And, when that time comes, we want her to feel like her vote matters and her voice is heard. That's why we're supporting Question 5. Ranked Choice Voting is an immensely common sense change that will restore majority rule. We're excited about being new grandparents, and we are proud to make smart investments that will make our state and country a better place for our children and grandchildren." - Diane (D) and Barry (D) Atwood, Gorham

"​I ​am voting Yes on Question 5 because ​politicians should be accountable to people, not parties and PACs. ​Question 5 levels the playing field for candidates​, so ideas matter more and money matters less. With Ranked Choice Voting, you don't have to choose between voting for the 'lesser of two evils' or feeling like your vote is 'wasted.' You simply rank the candidates and say what you truly think about them, so your voice matters more and it always counts. I want a better system for my generation. We can achieve it by voting Yes on Question 5 this fall." - Lucy McDermott (R), Dover-Foxcroft

"Ranked Choice Voting will lead to more positive campaigning. Candidates will have to work harder to build support for themselves among all voters, and not just voters from within their party. It will restore majority rule, so Maine's leaders are elected by over 50% of voters. That's why I am proud to support Yes on Question 5." - Gloria Hewett (I), Montville

"People in the County can disagree without being disagreeable. We can put aside our differences to solve problems. Politicians in Augusta and in Washington can too, but it requires changing the way our leaders get elected. We're voting 'Yes' on Question 5 because it rewards candidates who can build majority coalitions needed to win and govern. It gives us the freedom to vote for the person who is best for the job without worrying that our votes will be​ 'wasted​.' Ranked Choice Voting is nonpartisan and restores majority rule, so candidate receiving over 50% of the popular vote win. Voting Yes on 5 is just plain common sense."- Jennifer (D) and Torrey (R) Sylvester, New Limerick
