Legislative News




It’s 2022. You know what that means? MID TERM ELECTIONS!!

This year is going to be another exciting election year. With 36 governors’ races, all House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate up for grabs, and all kinds of state and local races, electric cooperatives have the opportunity to have a seat at the table and make their voices heard. Co-ops play a vital role in supporting political engagement, encouraging rural voter turnout, and engaging with candidates on issues that matter in our communities. It remains imperative that co-ops be involved in the conversation. Please take the time to show concern for your community and encourage everyone who is eligible to get registered and vote. Please Visit-https://www.vote.coop/

 

Electric co-ops are facing many legislative issues that will affect the future operations of the cooperative and the rates paid by co-op members. The active involvement of member-owners helps ensure the voice of electric cooperatives remains strong and effective in the political arena.   

Visit the Congressional Action Center if you would like to send an email to your representative and senators. To view a complete list of Maryland representatives and senators, download our Legislative Guide.

If you need a list of your local representatives and senators, download our Eastern Shore Delegation Guide. 

Together we will continue to fight for a viable environment for electric cooperatives and the quality of life they bring to your community!
