To help credit union employees and volunteers prepare for the upcoming November election, two credit union chapters are hosting candidate receptions this month. The Northern Penobscot Chapter of Credit Unions will host a candidate meet and greet at their upcoming chapter meeting in Millinocket on October 16.  The York County Chapter of Credit Unions will host a similar reception at their chapter meeting in Saco on October 24.

“These type of events give our credit union employees and volunteers a chance to hear directly from the individuals who want to represent them,” said Elise Baldacci, MECUL Vice President of Governmental Affairs.  “It also allows us an opportunity to educate these candidates about Maine’s credit union network – which is nearly 690,000 members strong.”

The MECUL has declared its support for 31 candidates running for the Maine Senate and 111 candidates running for the Maine House.   To review the list of endorsed state House and Senate candidates, click here.
