Patric Moore

Patric Moore is a U.S. Air Force veteran and economic development expert from Waterville running this fall to flip a seat in the Maine Senate. Patric served ten years in the U.S. Air Force, including work as a Cryptologic Language Analyst in the Intelligence Community and later as the Air Force Recruiter for Central Maine. He served as the Director of Entrepreneurship at a central Maine economic development nonprofit, and now works to support regional conservation and land trust efforts. If elected, Patric is ready to use his experience to work towards bringing down the cost of living and protecting access to affordable health care and housing.

District 16 has flipped between Republican and Democratic state senators in the past three elections. This year, with the support of the DLCC’s Target Races program, Patric is ready to win this seat and help Democrats expand their majority in the Maine Senate.

2026 is a historic opportunity to protect and expand the Democratic majorities in the Maine House and Senate.

Democrats have held a majority in the Maine Senate since 2018 and in the House since 2012. Despite a tough year for Democrats nationwide in 2024, the DLCC’s work in Maine helped ensure the state legislature stayed blue. Since then, Democrats have built momentum with special election wins and impressive candidate recruitment across the state, and this November, we aren’t taking a single hard-won district for granted as we approach the tightly contested midterms.

The DLCC has been on the ground in Maine cycle after cycle to support state Democrats as we work to defend and expand our majorities in both chambers of the legislature. 2026 is a critical year to win competitive races and ensure Democratic majorities in the legislature can continue to deliver for the people of Maine.
