Maine Governor Megathread: LePage Round 3

[MT Treasurer]

Nice, hope she endorses Poliquin for Congress as well!

It’s pretty infuriating that the Senator from the Trump +10 state is less reliable for us than the Senator representing a Biden +9 state, though.

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (WMTW) - With no other candidates of either party submitting ballot petitions by the March 15 deadline, Democratic incumbent Janet Mills and her Republican opponent, Paul LePage, will face each other in the November general election.

Also looks like there will be no other candidates on the November ballot, just Mills and LePage.

There’s still the possibility that an independent or unenrolled candidate could run. However, time is running out for such candidates to submit the 4,000 signatures by June 1 that are needed to qualify for the general election in November.

That’s why all indications point to the first head-to-head gubernatorial contest in Maine in 40 years.

Update: Independent candidates have qualified for both ME-GOV and ME-02, so there will in fact be no one-on-one contests. Reminder that RCV is only used in federal races, not the gubernatorial contest, so either Mills or LePage could win with a plurality.
