Two Democratic state legislators in Maine have endorsed an independent gubernatorial candidate, according to this story in the Portland Press Herald.  The independent gubernatorial candidate who received the endorsement is Eliot Cutler.  The two state legislators are Senator Dennis Damon and Representative Leila Percy.

In many states, if a state legislator endorsed an independent candidate for an office as important as Governor, that legislator would be expelled as a member of that party’s legislative caucus.  Thanks to Thomas MacMillan for the link.
