State Assemblymember Sarah Peters defeated her primary opponent in a landslide and will continue representing this safe Democratic seat. In the 2021 legislative session, Sarah served as Vice Chair of the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee and Chaired the General Government Subcommittee of the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means. On the 2021 National Coming Out Day, Sarah made a statement on the floor of the Assembly announcing herself as pansexual.

The former chair of the Portland Democrats, Charles Skold handily won the Democratic primary nomination for the Maine House of Representatives.

This deep blue seat all but guarantees Charles will be welcomed to the legislature this November
