State legislative elections in 2014

With Republican Gov. Paul LePage and Democratic challenger Mike Michaud in a statistical dead heat in pre-election polling, Democrats saw a chance to secure a state government trifecta in Maine. But while Democrats aimed to gain unified control of the state's government, Republicans flipped the Maine State Senate, securing a 20-15 majority.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans viewed the race in District 9 between Democratic District 32 incumbent Geoffrey Gratwick and Republican ex-mayor of Bangor Cary Weston as a key opportunity. District 9, which includes Bangor, was a swing district in 2014. Gratwick ultimately defeated Weston.

Out of the 35 seats in the Maine State Senate, 34 had two major party candidates running in the election. Of the eight retiring incumbents, four were Democrats and one was an Independent who caucused with the Democrats.

The Maine State Senate was one of 20 state legislative chambers noted by Ballotpedia staff as being a 2014 battleground chamber. The Maine Senate had a difference in partisan balance between Democrats and Republicans of four seats, which amounted to 11.4 percent of the 35-member chamber. In 2012, a total of 14 districts were competitive or mildly competitive. There were seven districts where the margin of victory was 5 percent or less in the 2012 elections. Another seven districts had a margin of victory between 5 and 10 percent.

Elections for the Maine State Senate took place in 2014. A primary election took place on June 10, 2014, and a general election was held on November 4, 2014. The signature filing deadline for party candidates wishing to run in this election was March 17, 2014. The deadline for write-in candidates to run in the primary election was April 28, 2014, and the deadline for non-party candidates to run in the general election was June 2, 2014.

Following the general election, the Republican Party gained control of the Maine State Senate. The Democratic Party previously held the majority control of the chamber with 19 seats. However, following the general election, that number dropped to just 15 seats. The Republicans, on the other hand, increased their seats from 15 to 20, and gained control of the chamber. The chamber's vacant seat was also filled during the general election.

Incumbents retiring

Competitiveness

Candidates unopposed by a major party

In all but one of the 35 districts up for election, there were candidates from both major parties running for election. One Democrat, incumbent Anne Haskell, was guaranteed election barring unforeseen circumstances.

Primary challenges

A total of two incumbents (5.7%) faced primary competition on June 10. Eight incumbents (22.9%) did not seek re-election and another 25 incumbents (71.4%) advanced past the primary without opposition. The state senators facing primary competition were:

• District 4: Incumbent Douglas Thomas (R) was defeated by House District 26 incumbent Paul T. Davis in the Republican primary.
• District 33: Incumbent John Tuttle (D) defeated Andrea Boland in the Democratic primary. The contest, which ended with a 20-vote lead for Tuttle, was subject to a recount; Tuttle's margin of victory increased to 22 votes.

Retiring incumbents

Eight incumbent senators did not run for re-election, while 27 (77.1%) ran for re-election. A list of those incumbents (four Democrats, three Republicans and one independent) can be found above.

Impact of redistricting

See also: Redistricting in Maine

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Maine's population increased by 4.2 percent between 2000 and 2010, rising from 1.27 million to 1.33 million. The southwestern part of the state, particularly the area near the New Hampshire border and around the city of Portland, had the highest levels of population density and growth, while northern parts of the state accounted for little of Maine's total population or growth.

Maine was the only state that would have drawn new Congressional and state legislative maps in 2013 rather than before the 2012 elections, but a June 2011 court ruling required that the Congressional maps be drawn sooner. New Congressional districts were in place for the 2012 elections, but new state legislative maps were not drawn until 2013. Thus, the new state legislative maps will first be used in the 2014 election.

Context

Republicans had only controlled the Maine State Senate for four years in the 32 years prior to 2014. They only needed to pick up three seats, however, to gain control of the chamber. This landed it on the Republican State Leadership Committee's list of 16 chambers targeted to flip in 2014. Republicans gaining control of this chamber was seen as necessary to prevent a Democratic state government trifecta, as Gov. Paul LePage (R) trailed his opponent Mike Michaud (D) in most polling.

Republicans believed that the varying views and infighting within the state's political party was actually a strength when compared to the state Democratic Party. Republican spokesman David Sorensen said, "Overtime there has been increasing tendency of the Democratic caucus to be in lockstep. When everyone is voting 90 percent like each other, you’ve got a situation where what may be popular in Portland isn’t necessary popular in Presque Isle." Sorensen said that Republicans, on the other hand, could find success with moderate candidates in one part of the state while running more conservative candidates in another.

The 2014 elections were the first under new district maps, which were deemed a compromise in a relatively smooth redistricting process. Maine requires a two-thirds vote by the legislature to approve district maps. Incumbents did not face each other in any Senate district in 2014; two House districts featured a major party incumbent against an unenrolled incumbent.

In addition to the Legislature, the governor's office was also up for election. Gov. Paul LePage (R) faced U.S. Sen. Mike Michaud (D) and Eliot Cutler (I). Democrats hoped that Michaud's election combined with maintaining control of the legislature would lead to the quick enactment of legislation that did not succeed in 2013. Cutler, a centrist, suggested that he might serve as "political shelter" for like-minded legislators, although the Portland Press Herald noted that his positions lined up more closely with Democrats.

An issue seen as a centerpiece of the legislative elections was the proposed expansion of the state's Medicaid program, MaineCare. Republicans looked to tie the fiscal troubles of the state program to the federal Affordable Care Act, whereas Democrats looked to sell benefits of expansion to voters.

Another issue of import to Democrats was the proposed increase in the state minimum wage. According to a September survey carried out by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, 60 percent of 589 likely voters said they would strongly support such an increase. However, Andrew Smith, the center's director, said that the issue may factor into votes but is unlikely to become a major issue in the campaign, as most Mainers earn more than the current minimum wage of $7.50 per hour.

Maine has operated a public campaign fund since the 1996 passage of the Clean Elections law, under which candidates may opt to pull from the fund in return for rejecting all other money. By the end of September 2014, 51 percent of legislative candidates had chosen Clean Elections money, the lowest rate since the start of the program. In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a section of the law that allowed for additional funds in the event of considerable outspending on the part of other candidates. Outside groups spent about $400,000 on legislative races, with a record-breaking $4.2 million spent on the gubernatorial race.

Races to watch

The following table details the key races in the November 4 general election for the Maine State Senate.

2014 Races to Watch, Maine State Senate
District	Candidate 1	Candidate 2
District 7	Ted Koffman (D)	Brian Langley (R)
District 9	Geoffrey Gratwick (D)	Cary Weston (R)
District 13	Chris Johnson (D)	Leslie Fossel (R)
District 20	John Cleveland (D)	Eric Brakey (R)
District 22	Guy Desjardins (D)	Garrett Mason (R)
District 25	Catherine Breen (D)	Cathy Manchester (R)
District 30	James Boyle (D)	Amy Volk (R)

Bold=Incumbent

CentralMaine.com identified the following as races to watch in 2014:

• District 7: Incumbent Brian Langley (R) defeated Theodore Koffman (D). The race was considered a tossup. One vulnerability for Langley was his vote against Medicaid expansion, which Koffman used to campaign against him.
• District 9: Incumbent Geoffrey Gratwick (D) defeated Cary Weston (R). Gratwick and Weston once served on the Bangor City Council together. The 2012 race in the Bangor area became the most expensive legislative race in Maine's history. Some believed Weston had a favorable match-up because he was both an ex-Bangor mayor and, more importantly, held no legislative record for Democrats to attack. MaineCare played a particularly central role in this race.
• District 13: Incumbent Chris Johnson (D) defeated Leslie Fossel (R). This was a rematch of a 2012 race where outside groups spent more than $75,000 to attack Fossel. This race was one of four scheduled for a recount to take place two weeks after the election.
• District 20: Incumbent John Cleveland (D) was defeated by Eric Brakey (R). Brakey is a 25 year-old and new to the district. His January campaign fundraising figures bested any other candidate in Maine's history, and he was endorsed by U.S. Senator Rand Paul.
• District 22: Incumbent Garrett Mason (R) defeated Guy Desjardins (D). Mason won by a narrow 28-vote margin in 2012 and was viewed as more vulnerable to the Androscoggin County sheriff Desjardins. On the other hand, recent redistricting was in favor of the Republicans.
• District 30: Incumbent James Boyle (D) was defeated by Amy Volk (R). Volk was at the front of a number of high-profile issues in the house, and the district became more conservative due to redistricting.

The following race also garnered attention:

• District 25: In the race for the district's open seat, Catherine Breen (D) narrowly defeated Cathy Manchester after William Gardiner withdrew. Unofficial results showed Breen winning by 32 votes; a recount two weeks after the election controversially showed Manchester winning by 11 votes, leading Democrats to decry "phantom ballots" in the town of Long Island. The race will be formally decided by a vote of the Senate after a special committee's investigation revealed that what appeared to be 21 extra ballots for Manchester were nonexistent and that the same number of ballots had been counted twice, leaving Breen as the apparent winner.

November 4 General election candidates:

Catherine Breen: 10,930

Cathy Manchester: 10,898

Note: According to election night results, Breen won the race by 32 votes, which was mirrored in the official canvass released in December. A recount held on November 18 reversed the outcome of the race, with Manchester at 10,927 votes and Breen at 10,916. Breen did not agree with the result, leaving the issue to be decided by the Senate with the advice of a committee appointed by the Senate President. Breen was still recognized by the Maine Secretary of State as the district's senator-elect and was expected to be seated when the chamber met on December 3. However, the Senate voted to seat Manchester.

Democrats objected to the recount result due to 21 additional ballots in the town of Long Island, all for Manchester, bringing the vote count above the tally taken on election night, which unofficial results matched. On December 9, 2014, a seven-member special Senate committee revealed that the 21 ballots for Manchester were mistakenly counted twice and Breen was declared the winner.
