The Alliance for Maine’s Future was formed in 2001 by Maine business leaders to ‘Improve the Economic Opportunities for All Maine People’. A non-profit, non-partisan grassroots entity, AMF provides free education services designed to help employers and employees make informed choices when voting for state legislative candidates.

The affiliated AMF Maine Prosperity PAC recruits and supports candidates for the Legislature who are experienced, thoughtful people willing to listen to both sides of an issue. They appreciate that both Maine’s natural and economic environments are essential to enhancing the quality of life for all of Maine’s citizens.
