Welcome to Pine Tree Key!

Pine Tree Key is a nonpartisan, ad-free voter-education tool for Maine. It helps you compare your views with candidates using neutral policy statements—without party labels or endorsements.

How it works: Click the button below, read each statement, and choose Agree, Disagree, Neutral/Unsure, or Skip. When you're done, you can highlight up to three (3) statements that matter most to you (optional). Those highlighted statements are weighted more heavily in your alignment score. Then you'll see how your responses align with each candidate—and you can explore a side-by-side comparison to dig into the details.

Available now: Maine's 2026 gubernatorial statement set, with initial candidate responses published (as of Dec 19, 2025). Pine Tree Key invites all declared candidates and publishes responses as they come in. Published responses appear after you complete the statement set below (in the side-by-side comparison), and on each candidate's detail page.

Privacy-first: Your answers stay on your device. Pine Tree Key does not collect, store, or sell personal data.
