Roger Storms was a leader of the Prohibition Party in Maine during the 1970’s. Under his leadership, the party overcame the Maine petition requirement of 10,920 valid signatures in 1976, and was able to place its presidential candidate, Ben Bubar, on the Maine ballot. Bubar received .72% of the presidential vote in Maine, and some party members were elected to non-partisan office in Maine. Storms was killed in an auto accident in the late 1970’s, and the party never again appeared on the ballot in Maine.
