The composition of the next Legislature will begin to take shape after Maine voters go to the polls on Tuesday.
There will be 30 primary contests in State House races, the winners of which will go on to compete in the general election. In some instances the winners of those races will immediately find themselves in a strong position to win in November, but in other swing district contests, the winners of Tuesday’s primary will likely engage in tough races against the other party’s nominee.
MPBN chief political correspondent Steve Mistler and Ed Morin discuss some of the state Senate races, where there are six Democratic and four Republican contests.
