Track the work, not just the message
This campaign should not ask people in Maine to remember slogans. It should show what is moving, what is backed by evidence, and what remains unfinished.
I want this page to make it easier to follow the platform as a body of work instead of a pile of announcements.

What I want people to be able to track clearly.
Child-first process proposal
Status: public draft on site
Problem: drift, delay, and weak early fact development can cost children time and stability.
Evidence: backlog trend, workload study, child-impact research.
Still unfinished: translating a reform standard into durable process rules and public accountability.
Backlog and capacity visibility
Status: platform commitment
Problem: people cannot govern against what they cannot see.
Evidence: annual report, workload study, regional caseload reports.
Still unfinished: cleaner recurring public dashboards and better claim-to-proof discipline across institutions.
Housing and crisis-prevention lane
Status: proof-backed campaign lane
Problem: families in southern Maine are carrying court strain and housing strain at the same time.
Evidence: MaineHousing needs study, 2026 outlook, vacancy data, PIT report, regional court data.
Still unfinished: translating prevention and stability priorities into accountable state action.
Call drafts what they are
If something is still a commitment or a public draft, this page should say so plainly instead of overclaiming progress.
Each row should point backward
The tracker is only credible if people can move from the tracked item back to the proof that made it necessary.
Keep open work visible
I do not want a tracker that turns into self-congratulation. The unfinished portion belongs in the foreground too.
Only publish what can be explained
If this page changes over time, the reason should be visible in plain language and traceable to actual work.
Tracker standard
Plain language
What the reform is, where it stands, and what problem it is meant to solve.
Evidence link
Each tracked item should point people back to the proof page or the primary record behind it.
Unfinished work
I do not want a tracker that pretends things are solved just because a page was published or a bill was filed.
Read, verify, or act from here.
Use the flagship page first
If someone is new to the site, the dashboard is still the strongest first stop for the public record and the campaign response.
Move from argument to receipts
The evidence center and briefs are where the charts, source cards, and downloadable proof should hold up on their own.
Use the practical doors
For people dealing with real pressure right now, the resource hub comes before politics. For pattern-finding, use the intake page after that.
