The Maine Green Party is the strongest state Green Party in the nation, for the variable of doing well in state legislative elections. In 2002 and 2004, the Maine Greens elected a state legislator. Although it didn’t elect any in 2006, its nominees outpolled the Republican nominee in three districts.
In 2006 the party had 2 State Senate candidates (out of 35 seats), and 8 State House candidates (out of 151 seats). This year, it has 3 State Senate candidates, and 10 State House candidates. This year’s nominee for the seat that it had won in the past, the 118th district in Portland, is Daniel S. Szatkowski.
I hope Daniel Szatkowski wins—help break the duopoly!
Im expect one CP legislator to win, and one Green.
I also expect the Gubanatorial candidate in MO for the CP to do fairly well (high single digits).
