Maine Policy Institute

Maine Policy Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to expand individual liberty and economic freedom in Maine. We work to ensure hardworking Mainers keep the fruits of their labor and defend their rights and liberties from government overreach. We conduct detailed and timely research and develop public policy solutions that improve the lives of Maine citizens. We educate the public, engage legislators, and employ the media to shift public opinion and establish enduring change in our state.

Since its creation in 2002, Maine Policy has accomplished notable legislative victories in Maine, include the largest tax cut in state history, historic welfare reforms that led to higher rates of employment, public-sector pension reform that saved taxpayers more than $1 billion, financial transparency, and pro-market healthcare reforms that drove down premiums and increased competition.
