Socialist Party of America (Formerly)
The Socialist Party of Maine is a multi-tendency democratic socialist political party in the U.S. state of Maine. During its first incarnation in the early 20th century, prominent members included naturalist Norman Wallace Lermond of Warren and artist Charles L. Fox of Portland, both of whom ran for Governor as Socialist Party nominees.
In August 2016, Socialist Party USA members established a local in Southern Maine. In April of the next year, SPUSA established a second local in Maine, this one based in Eastern Maine. In July 2017, the two locals held a convention and formed a statewide party.
