Maine Independent Politics Pages:
Maine has had two independent governors in the past twenty five years. James Longley Sr. served as Maine's governor in the 1970s. Maine's current governor is one of two independent governors in the United States. Maine's present governor, Angus King, shares this distinction together with governor Jesse Ventura of Minnesotta.
