Only three states beat Maine

Maine hasn't elected a Republican Congressman since 1994, when James Longley beat Dennis Dutremble 52%-48% for the seat vacated by Tom Andrews (D). Mr. Andrews ran for the US Senate Seat once George Mitchell(D) decided not to seek reelection. Andrews eventually lost to Olympia Snowe (R), who previously held the Congressional seat in the Second District.

Tom Allen beat Longley by ten points two years later.
