From the Sun Journal:
Maine’s newly elected Democratic legislators settled a three-way race for state attorney general Tuesday by nominating former prosecutor and three-term Rep. Janet Mills of Farmington for the $92,296-per-year post, assuring her of election by the full House and Senate.
No tallies were announced, but Mills won on the second ballot. John Brautigam of Falmouth, who is completing a legislative term, was eliminated on the first vote and Mills defeated Sean Faircloth of Bangor on the second balloting. Faircloth is finishing a term as House majority whip.
