Senator Troy Jackson of Aroostook County and Senator Mark Lawrence of York County have the longest overall Senate service, both beginning their 7th term in the Senate. They also share the longest overall legislative service, starting their 10th term with the Legislature.
Four members: Senator Benjamin Chipman of Cumberland County; Senator Troy Jackson of Aroostook County; Senator Lisa Keim of Oxford County; and Senator Eloise Vitelli of Sagadahoc County will be unable to run for the Maine Senate in 2024 due to term limits.
