Nov 2018

"In Maine, voters elected 60 women to the House and 12 to the Senate, for a total of 72 women in the Legislature – claiming 39 percent of the total 186 seats.

The last Legislature had 64 women, or 34 percent of the seats."

"Maine is among the states with the highest percentage of women holding state legislative office, along with Nevada, where women will be in the majority, and Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, Alaska, Arizona and Washington."
