United States Senate election in Maine, 1994

The 1994 United States Senate election in Maine was held on November 7, 1994. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator and Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell decided to retire, instead of seeking a third term. United States Congressman Tom Andrews won the Democratic primary unopposed, while United States Congresswoman Olympia Snowe won the Republican primary unopposed. In the general election, Snowe defeated Andrews in a rout to win her first of three terms in the United States Senate, a stark contrast to retiring Senator Mitchell's landslide win six years prior.
