About
Rep. Pingree
Representative Hannah Pingree is serving her third term in
the Maine House of Representatives and her first as House
Majority Leader. As Majority Leader, she is the political
spokesperson for the House Democratic caucus, which holds
the Majority in the House of Representatives with 90 members.
Her office provides staff and support for all of the House
Democrats and for Maine’s two tribal representatives.
Prior to 2007, Hannah served on the Legislature’s budget-writing
Appropriations Committee and as House Chairwoman of the Health
and Human Services Committee.
Hannah has a track record of success in navigating bills
on issues relating to the environment and health care through
the legislature. In 2007, she successfully introduced and
passed a new law banning the hazardous deca flame retardant
in Maine household products, and worked closely on negotiating
the terms that incorporated Maine into the Northeast Regional
Greenhouse Gas Initiative. In previous years, she sponsored
new laws that banned other dangerous chemicals from Maine
households, boosted rural broadband internet access, and ensured
reliable records for electronic voting machines.
Prior to serving in the Maine Legislature, she was a fundraiser
for the U.S. Senate campaign of Chellie Pingree, her mom.
She also worked for two years in New York City as the political
director and “Election 2000” producer for iVillage.com,
the largest political internet site for women. In addition
to serving in the Legislature, professionally, Hannah runs
a capital campaign to build a new public school facility on
North Haven.
Hannah is an honors graduate of North Haven Community School,
Brown University and was a 1998-99 Fellow for Leadership in
Public Affairs for the Coro Foundation in New York City. In
the Legislature she represents 11 islands and coastal towns.
She grew up on the island of North Haven.
