2023 Women to Watch Honorees

Each year since 2009, Mainebiz has honored a group of women who have demonstrated leadership in wide-ranging sectors of business, health care and the nonprofit world. To date, the Mainebiz Women to Watch program has honored nearly 75 leaders. This year, we honor the leaders of a Rockland theater, a Waterville startup, a Portland affordable housing organization, a biosciences trade group and a timber sports group. 

Today's Poll

Which of the 2026 election results will have the greatest impact on Maine's economy?
Poll Description

In 2026, Maine voters will have their say in four key elections.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is up for reelection for one of Maine's two Senate seats. (U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, will face reelection in 2030.) The November vote has added weight because Collins chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, a significant source of Maine's federal funding. 

In the House of Representatives, U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, D-2nd District, is not seeking reelection. The district includes northern and much of eastern Maine. And U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-1st District, is running for reelection. 

Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, will term out as governor. 

Individual Democrats and Republicans come and go, but the money elected officials control can be a major factor in Maine's economic prosperity.
