Conservative groups push back on Maine law in latest campaign finance court battle filing

The conservative groups that sued Maine over a voter-approved law that established stricter regulations on money in elections filed their rebuttal on Monday, claiming it violates free speech.

In 2024, Maine voters overwhelmingly passed a law that set a $5,000 limit on contributions to political action committees that independently spend money to try to support or defeat candidates, commonly referred to as super PACs.

Shortly after, two PACs — Dinner Table Action, which was founded by state Rep. Laurel Libby (R-Auburn) and activist Alex Titcomb, and For Our Future, which is run by Titcomb — sued the state.

However, those behind the law welcomed the lawsuit as it was a key part of their ultimate goal: to get the U.S. Supreme Court to regulate super PACs.
