Candidates file for upcoming elections

As of the March 15 filing deadline, the Maine Secretary of State’s list of candidates shows several Maine House contests coming up for Waldo County voters in the June 14 primary election. This will be the first election in new districts created by the Legislature last fall based on 2020 Census results.

Here is a rundown by district of what elections will look like in June and November.

In District 37 (Searsport, Stockton Springs, Prospect, Winterport and part of Frankfort), three Winterport residents have filed. Republicans Kevin J. Kelley and Reagan L. Paul will square off in the June 14 primary for the GOP nomination. The winner of that contest will face Democrat Margaret English-Flanagan in the general election Nov. 8. Incumbent Democrat Scott Cuddy of Winterport has not filed to seek a third term.
