List of governors of Maine

The governor of Maine is the head of government of Maine[1] and the commander-in-chief of its military forces.[2] The governor has a duty to enforce state laws,[3] and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Maine Legislature,[4] to convene the legislature at any time,[5] and, except in cases of impeachment, to grant pardons.[6]

The Blaine House is the official residence of the governor of Maine. The Executive Mansion was officially declared the residence of the governor in 1919 with the name "The Blaine House". It is located in Augusta, Maine, across the street from the Maine State House.

There have been 71 governors of Maine since statehood, serving 75 distinct terms. Four governors served multiple non-consecutive terms (Edward Kent, John Fairfield, John W. Dana, and Burton M. Cross).[7] The longest-serving governor was Joseph E. Brennan, who served two terms from 1979 to 1987. The shortest-serving governors were Nathaniel M. Haskell and Richard H. Vose, who each served only one day. John W. Dana also served for one day in 1844, after the incumbent governor resigned, but was later elected to the governorship. The current governor is Democrat Janet Mills, who took office on January 2, 2019.

Governors

The District of Maine, part of Massachusetts, was admitted to the Union on March 15, 1820, as the State of Maine.[8] The Maine Constitution of 1820 originally established a gubernatorial term of one year,[9] to begin on the first Wednesday of January; constitutional amendments expanded this to two years in 1879[10] and to four years in 1957.[11] The 1957 amendment also prohibited governors from succeeding themselves after serving two terms.[11] The constitution does not establish an office of lieutenant governor; a vacancy in the office of governor is filled by the president of the Maine Senate.[12] Prior to an amendment in 1964, the president of the senate only acted as governor.[13][14]

Notes

  1. The numbering from the Maine State Law and Legislative Reference Library notes that, in the past, Burton M. Cross and Nathaniel M. Haskell's short terms in 19521953 were not counted, and they corrected the count by one prior to John R. McKernan Jr.'s inauguration.[154]
  2. King resigned to be a commissioner for the adjustment of Spanish claims in Florida.[15]
  3. Williamson resigned to take an elected seat in the United States House of Representatives.[17]
  4. Ames felt that, with a new Maine Senate, the new president of the Senate should take office, and resigned upon Daniel Rose being elected.[21]
  5. Sobel says Parris resigned upon being elected to the United States Senate;[24] however, he was not elected until January 31.[27]
  6. The Senate that Cutler was president of had ended, and there was controversy over if he could remain governor; the Maine Supreme Court ruled against him. Sobel says that he resigned at this point, but no source corroborates this.[32]
  7. Kent won a close election, but Democrats challenged the election. He was finally declared winner by the Maine Supreme Court and sworn in on January 19, 1838.[40] Dunlap left office on January 3,[38] but no source mentions if the president of the Senate acted as governor in the interim.
  8. The 1840 election was very close, and the legislature had to decide a winner. Due to the delay, President of the Senate Vose declared himself acting governor on January 12, 1841,[44] under the principle that the office was vacant, so it fell to him.[45] Sobel writes that Vose took over after Fairfield resigned, but this appears to be a mistake, mixing it up with Fairfield's resignation in 1843.
  9. Fairfield resigned to take an elected seat in the United States Senate.[42]
  10. Kavanagh resigned due to ill health;[50] he died 19 days later.
  11. Dunn resigned once the new Maine Legislature was sworn in and a president of the Senate chosen.[51][53]
  12. Hamlin resigned to take an elected seat in the United States Senate.[66]
  13. Morrill instead ran successfully for United States Senate.[70]
  14. Marble lost the Republican nomination to Edwin C. Burleigh.[96]
  15. Milliken lost the Republican nomination to Frederic Hale Parkhurst.[119]
  16. Brann instead ran unsuccessfully for United States Senate.[128]
  17. Hildreth instead ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination to United States Senate.[134]
  18. Payne resigned to take an elected seat in the United States Senate.[138]
  19. Frederick G. Payne resigned on December 24, 1952, and Burton M. Cross, as president of the Senate, became acting governor. Cross had already been elected to the post, and would take office on January 7, 1953. However, the new Senate elected Nathaniel M. Haskell as president on January 6, so he took over as acting governor.[140]
  20. Muskie resigned to take an elected seat in the United States Senate.[141]
  21. Mills' second term began on January 4, 2023, and will expire January 6, 2027; she will be term-limited.
