The2012 United States Senate election in Maine was held on November 6, 2012, alongside apresidential election,other elections to theUnited States Senate in other states, as well as elections to theUnited States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Despite initially declaring her candidacy and being considered the favorite, popular incumbentRepublican U.S. SenatorOlympia Snowe unexpectedly decided to retire instead of running for reelection to a fourth term.

Independent former governorAngus King won the open seat with 52.9% of the vote against RepublicanCharlie Summers and DemocratCynthia Dill, carrying all 16 of Maine's counties. Following independent Connecticut SenatorJoe Lieberman's retirement from the Senate in 2013, King became the second independent incumbent U.S. Senator, afterVermont'sBernie Sanders. This was the first U.S. Senate race in Maine since1988 that was not won by a Republican. This was also the first Senate election in the state since 1854 not won by a Democrat or Republican.

After being elected, King met with Democratic LeaderHarry Reid and Republican LeaderMitch McConnell. He then decided to caucus with theDemocratic Party. This effectively gave the Democrats a 55–45 Senate majority due to the other independent,Bernie Sanders ofVermont, caucusing with the Democrats as well.

IncumbentOlympia Snowe won re-election to a third term in 2006 with 74.01% of the vote over Democrat Jean Hay Bright and independent Bill Slavick. Due to the unpopularity of some of Snowe's votes among conservative voters, namely for theAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and initial support of thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, there was speculation that she would face competition in the 2012 Republican primary from more conservative challengers.[1] TheTea Party Express had promised to aid in a primary against Snowe.[2] There had also been speculation that Snowe would switch parties, though she has always denied this.[3][4][5] By June 2011, Snowe had officially entered her name with signatures to run in the Republican primary, saying, she "would never switch parties".

However, on February 28, 2012, Snowe announced that she would be retiring from the U.S. Senate at the end of her term, citing the "atmosphere of polarization and 'my way or the highway' ideologies has become pervasive in campaigns and in our governing institutions" as the reason for her retirement.[6] Her announcement opened the door for candidates from all parties, creating a much more contested 2012 election.[7]

The primary election was held on June 12.[8]

Campaign

[edit]

The groupMaine People's Alliance called on Charles Summers to resign his position asSecretary of State of Maine, stating that it was a conflict of interest for the secretary of state to oversee their own election to another office. They also had concerns over past actions in sending letters to college students about voter registration requirements. A spokesperson for Summers said that he had turned over all election oversight to a deputy secretary of state, and Summers himself stated that he was not going to resign.[38] No Secretary of State orMaine Attorney General who was seeking higher office in the last 30 years has resigned.[39]

Steve Woods announced on August 1 that, if elected, he would donate his entire Senate salary to Maine charities chosen by an independent committee of business and nonprofit leaders he would appoint. He encouraged Angus King to make a similar pledge; King responded through his spokesperson that he and his wife would continue to donate money to charities, and that all candidates should do so in "the best way they feel they can."[40]

Anti-spoiler proposal

[edit]

Steve Woods met with Angus King on June 13 to discuss a proposal by Woods for either man to leave the race if it appeared one or the other was not going to win, in order to avoid being a spoiler candidate. Woods specifically cited the2010 Maine Gubernatorial election as well as the2000 presidential election as examples of what could result from a fragmented electorate. King stated that while he had not fully considered Woods' proposal, he didn't think he was a spoiler, in that "If I thought that, I wouldn't be running." Woods said that regardless of whether or not King accepted the proposal, he likely would abide by it and endorse King in late October if it appeared he would not win.[41] Woods did indeed drop out and endorsed King on November 4, stating that King had the "highest degree of integrity to represent all Mainers". Woods' name, however, remained on the ballot.[42]

Campaign spending issues

[edit]

On June 13, Angus King held a press conference and stated that he would discourage campaign spending by outside groups if his opponents would agree to do the same. King criticized such spending as "a tidal wave of anonymous campaign expenditures that distort our political process." His proposed agreement was modeled on a similar agreement betweenMassachusetts SenatorScott Brown and his opponentElizabeth Warren, which required them, if outside money is spent on their behalf, to donate an equivalent amount of money to the charity of their opponent's choice. Democrat Cynthia Dill criticized the proposal as lacking "detail or substance" but added that she "looked forward to seeing a proposed agreement." Republican Charles Summers did not state whether he would accept King's proposal or not but criticized King for discussing campaign finance instead of issues like the economy and government spending.[43] Andrew Ian Dodge called such an agreement "unworkable", while Steve Woods said he would abide by such an agreement.[44]

In a letter to King, Dill again stated that she was open to an agreement on limiting outside spending in the race, but she also called on King to support measures the candidates can take themselves to limit campaign spending. These include pledging to not finance their campaigns themselves and limiting contributions to $500. Dill also called on King to take stands on a variety of campaign finance legislation, such as theDISCLOSE Act. King told the Bangor Daily News the prior week that he does support increased disclosure requirements for super-PACs, but did not specifically say he supports the DISCLOSE Act. King is so far the only candidate to benefit from super-PAC money, as a group called icPurple Inc. spent $24,000 making an online advertisement for King. King stated that as part of his proposal, he would ask the group to take the ads down.[44]

Danny Dalton stated on June 14 that he would not accept any campaign donations whatsoever, in order to assure constituents that he will represent everyone equally.[45]

Steve Woods pledged to not spend more than $1.3 million on his campaign, or roughly $1 per Maine resident, including campaign donations and his own money. He stated, "If I can't get my message out and if the public isn't interested in that message, to spend more would be egregious."[46]

On July 18, King was criticized for attending a fundraiser inWashington, D.C., where he raised money from PACs and other donors. Republicans said King's actions were "the height of hypocrisy" for speaking out against PAC money and raising it at the same time, while Cynthia Dill criticized King as an "insider who is working the system". King defended his actions by stating that he "took no joy" in them but that it was necessary for him to raise money to defend himself in the "dogfight" he expects. King also reiterated his support of changing campaign finance laws and said that he was making no promises to donors.[47]
