Elecon Guide for Member Hospitals Elecons 2018 Please accept this guide as an overview of the candidates running for state office in Maine this elecon cycle. The Maine Hospital Associaon does not endorse candidates for office. Nor do we compile scorecards or rangs for candidates. This guide is merely meant to be a resource for you to idenfy your local candidates. Overview. All 151 House members and 35 Senators are on the ballot this year. Addionally, for the first me in eight years, the office of Governor is open and four candidates are on the ballot. There are also three mid‐term federal races this year, both Congressional seats and the Senate seat currently occupied by Senator (who is seeking re‐elecon). Parsan Breakdown. There will be a fair amount of turnover this year as Maine’s term limit law connues to have some effect. The four‐term/eight‐year limits are having more impact on Republicans this cycle versus Democrats. Eight years ago, Governor LePage led a “Red Wave” in Maine that saw Republicans take control of both the House and Senate for the first me in decades. Many of those Republicans are now being termed out.

Democrats Republicans Independents Current Senate 17 18 0 Senate Termed‐out 1 7 0 Rering 1 3 0 Senate Total 2 10 0

In the Senate, seven Republicans are termed‐out compared to only one Democrat. Furthermore, three Republicans who could seek re‐elecon have chosen to rere instead compared to only one Democrat. Accordingly, almost 90 percent of Senate Democrats are running for re‐elecon to the Senate compared to only half of Republicans.

Democrats Republicans Independents Current House 74 70 7 House Termed‐out 5 14 2 Rering 11 14 2 House Total 16 28 4

In the House, 14 Republicans are termed‐out compared to only five Democrats and two independents who generally caucus with Democrats. As for rerements, it’s more evenly divided as 14 Republicans are leaving the House compared to 11 Democrats and two independents. Some of these early House rerees are seeking Senate seats.

Legislave Leadership. Virtually all of the Republican leadership is termed‐out, compared to only a few members of Democrat leadership. The Republican Senate President, Mike Thibodeau and Senate Majority leader Garre Mason are each concluding eight years of service and neither is seeking a House seat. The long‐me assistant Majority leader, Sen. Andre Cushing is also concluding his service. Sen. Cushing stepped down from his leadership posion earlier this year and was replaced by Sen. who is running for re‐elecon. Both members of Senate Democrat leadership, Senators Troy Jackson and , are running for re‐elecon. In the House, the Republican Minority leader, Rep. Ken Fredee, and Assistant Minority leaders, Rep. Ellie Espling, are done with their 8 year terms (Rep. Espling is running for the Senate). On the Democrat side, current Speaker of the House Sara Gideon is seeking re‐elecon. Her two assistants are both done. Minority leader Rep. Erin Herbig is seeking a Senate seat and Rep. is running for Congress in the second district against current Rep. Bruce Poliquin.
