United States congressional delegations from Maine
These are tables of congressional delegations from Maine to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives. Maine became a state on March 15, 1820 and elects Senators to Classes 1 and 2. Maine's current U.S Senators are Republican Susan Collins (serving since 1997) and Independent Angus King (serving since 2013). For organizational purposes King caucuses with the Democratic Party, making Maine one of the nine states to have a split United States Senate delegation. Maine has been allotted 2 seats in the U.S House of Representatives since the 1960 Census, both of which are held by Democrats as of 2019.
