Maine 2024 Election Results — MultiState Elections

Maine held its general election on November 5, 2024, deciding 186 legislative seats. No chamber changed party control.

Highlights

Democrats kept the trifecta they have held since 2018, but Republicans flipped seats in both chambers: the Senate went from 22-13 to 20-15 and the House from 81-68-2 to 76-73-2, leaving Democrats at 76 seats, the bare minimum for a House majority.
Both Senate pickups were open seats. Susan Bernard (R) won Aroostook County's Senate District 1, vacated by term-limited Senate President Troy Jackson (D), and Scott Cyrway (R) took Senate District 16. Every Senate incumbent who ran was reelected, including Mike Tipping (D), who survived a recount by 132 votes.
Five House incumbents lost:
- Republicans unseated three Democratic representatives: Russ White beat J. Mark Worth in HD-13, Steve Bishop beat Ronald B. Russell in HD-17, and Mark Cooper beat Jane Pringle in HD-107.
- Wayne Farrin (D) unseated Rep. Ed Polewarczyk (R) in HD-47, the only Republican incumbent to fall to a Democrat.
- Independent Sharon Frost beat two-term Rep. Daniel Newman (R) in HD-58 by 43 votes.
The Secretary of State recounted nine legislative races, and none changed hands, but one had no winner until the recount: in Sanford's HD-141, Rep. Lucas Lanigan (R), charged with domestic violence assault shortly before the election, tied Patricia Kidder (D) on election night and won by a single vote in the hand count, 2,478 to 2,477. Steve Bunker (D) held open HD-75 by seven votes. Across the 186 legislative races, 13 seats changed parties, 5 incumbents were defeated, 9 other races finished inside two points, and 31 seats drew a single candidate.
Question 1, capping contributions to super PACs at $5,000, passed in a landslide with about three-quarters of the vote. Three bond questions passed narrowly: Question 2 for research and development, Question 3 for community buildings, and Question 4 for trails. Question 5, which would have restored the pine-tree flag, failed 56-44.
