Maine Governor Race 2026 — Odds
Janet Mills is term-limited and spending her political capital on a Senate run against Susan Collins instead, leaving an open governorship in a state that leans blue but elected Paul LePage twice. Democrats are favored, with markets pricing the hold near 87 percent. Watch for an independent candidacy — Maine's history makes third-lane scenarios more than theoretical.
