Note from the CCRC Chair on Protect Girls Sports and Spaces

Friend,

You are part of a small, motivated group of Mainers who we’re bringing

this update — and appeal — to, in the hope that you can help us quickly

close our funding gap and keep pushing for our referendum to stay on the

2026 November ballot.

While our referendum to “Designate School Sports Participation and

Facilities by Sex” has been successful — and has proven to be a unifying

and winning issue on every metric — we’ve hit significant legal

roadblocks that we need your help to overcome.

We remain confident in the appeal we’ve brought to the Supreme Judicial

Court of Maine yet believe further legal action at the federal level

will give us the full-court-press we need to get this done by early

August in time for ballots to be printed.

We need your help this week to close our $36,000 funding gap:

- To press our appeal at the federal courts, we need $50,000 in funding.

- We have raised $14,500 to date.

Your donation of $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 or even

the full gap will have a direct impact on our fight at the federal

courts, the fight of our daughters for their sex-based rights, and our

ability to win this November.

You can make a direct donation here:

As Chair of the Cumberland County Republican Committee, I ask that you:

1) Consider a donation today, and

2) Share this with 5 other motivated Mainers.

Please act now. Attached is a more in-depth update on the referendum,

where we are, where we’re going, and how your assistance will help us

get there.

This is about protecting fairness, safety, and opportunity for Maine’s

daughters. Let’s stand together.

Sincerely,

Chuck Ellis

Chair, Cumberland County Republican Committee
