Driscoll Will Seek a Third Term

According to the web magazine PolitickerME.com, State Representative Tim Driscoll (D-Westbrook) will seek re-election to his seat representing Westbrook's House District (H.D.) 126 in the Maine House of Representatives in November 2008. Driscoll, per the Politicker, will be seeking a third consecutive term in Augusta and was re-elected in 2006 by a 1,742 to 1,048 margin.

Based on Ethics Commission filings as of December 31, the Politickers' roster of announced State House and Senate candidates does not include Driscoll's housemate, Representative Ann Peoples (D-Westbrook, H.D. 125). Nor does it contain the names of Westbrook's two State Senators, Phil Bartlett (D-Cumberland, S.D. 6) and Joseph Brannigan (D-Cumberland, S.D. 9). Challengers to any of the seats are also absent.

Considering today is the first legislative session of the year, it's still very early; November is still some ten months away. Nevertheless, a little update for the political junkies out there.
