124th Maine Senate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of the members of the 124th Maine Senate, which were sworn into office on December 3, 2008, and left office in December 2010.[1]

On December 3, Libby Mitchell (D-Kennebec) was the only candidate nominated for President of the Maine Senate and was subsequently elected Senate President.[1]

The 124th Senate consisted of 21 Democrats and 14 Republicans. In April 2009, the Maine Senate approved LD 1020 with a 21–14 vote. The bill if enacted allowed same-sex couples to marry.[2] The bill ultimately passed the Maine Legislature as a whole and was signed by Governor John Baldacci before being repealed via a people's veto in November 2009.
