Mark Vigliotta

Mark Vigliotta is a union organizer and former Naval shipyard mechanic from Lebanon running this fall to flip a seat in the Maine Senate. Mark comes from a long line of union members, and he’s deeply connected to the needs of Maine’s working families. As a union member himself, Mark rose from Shop Steward to President of the Maine State Council of Machinists, representing over 5,000 workers across the region. He’s ready to champion policies to ensure higher-paying jobs, better benefits, and a lower cost of living for working Mainers.

District 33 is shaping up to be a true toss-up this year, and Mark, with the support of the DLCC’s Target Races program, is ready to capitalize on this opportunity to flip this seat blue.

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.
