The chair of the Maine Democratic Party is stepping down.
In a written statement, Bev Uhlenhake said in the two years she served in the post, the Democratic Party defied strong national headwinds by reelecting both of Maine’s Democratic congressional representatives, sending Democratic majorities back to the Legislature and winning three electoral votes for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Uhlenhake believes the party has set a solid foundation for future success, and has decided not to seek reelection for personal and professional reasons.
The party will hold leadership elections near the end of the month.
