Democrat Hannah Pingree has been projected to win Maine's governor's race over Republican Bobby Charles, according to Decision Desk HQ. The Associated Press called the race for Pingree shortly after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to The Center Square, which reports early returns of 54.8% for Pingree, 37.2% for Charles and 8% for independent Rick Bennett. Pingree, a former state House speaker, will succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Janet Mills. Charles conceded Tuesday night, pledging to keep pushing on property taxes, energy costs and public benefits fraud.
