Form 990-ez, Part III

Line 28 description in full: in 2020-2021 mcce action successfully lobbied to close a loophole in the campaign finance law to ban corporate contributions to all candidates for state office. The new law will take effect in 2023. Mcce action also worked to pass a law to ban foreign corporate contributions to candidates. The bill was passed by the legislature, but vetoed by the governor.

Form 990-ez, Part IV

The executive director salary was paid via a common paymaster, a related organization (maine citizens for clean elections, mcce, a 501c3 organization). Mcce action reimbursed 100% of mcce action's portion of ed salaries, taxes,and fringe benefits to maine citizens for clean elections, unless any portion was forgiven (which it wasn't this year). In 2020-2021, mcce action ed salary was 1.8% of total ed salary. Given that the salaries were initially paid out of mcce, no w2 was paid out of mcce action.
