When Paul Armstrong, 64, first became an AARP advocacy volunteer nearly a decade ago, he was shocked that members of the public could be in the state Senate chamber “right on the floor” during the proceedings.

AARP is fighting to save you money on your utility bills. Electricity rates are an essential pocketbook issue for Maine residents 50-plus and their families, many of whom struggle to pay their utility bills along with other household expenses like food and medicine. Here you will find the latest updates and information. Would you like to join our efforts and volunteer with us? We would love to hear from you! Send an email to me@aarp.org to learn more.

A core tenet of AARP is the belief that volunteer service is one of the most important and valuable contributions a person can make to their community. AARP Maine’s Executive Council is a group of volunteer leaders from Maine’s communities who hold that same core value.
