Today's Poll
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.
