缅因州选民周二选出下一任州长，两届现任州长珍妮特·米尔斯（民主党）因任期限制无法寻求连任，而这场竞选在一定程度上被该州备受瞩目的参议院竞争所掩盖。
Maine voters on Tuesday pick their next governor, with two-term incumbent Gov. Janet Mills (D) term limited and ineligible to seek reelection, in a race that has been somewhat overshadowed by the high-profile Senate contest in the state.
民主党希望凭借其提名人、前州众议院议长汉娜·平格里守住“松树州”的州长官邸。

He also defeated a crowded field to secure his party's nomination, including former Maine Senate Majority Leader Garrett Mason and healthcare executive Jonathan Bush, who is the nephew of former President George H.W. Bush. Businessman Rick Bennett is also running in the general election as an Independent.
作为前共和党人，贝内特曾两度在州参议院任职，一度担任州参议院议长，十年前曾任州党主席。投票于美东时间晚上8点结束。
