Pingree’s place in the 2026 race
Chellie M Pingree is running as a Democrat in Maine’s 1st Congressional District, also identified as ME-1. Pingree is the incumbent, meaning Pingree currently holds the office involved in this election.
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The race is contested and includes seven candidates: two Democrats and five Republicans. No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the field, so the official candidate information does not establish where Pingree or the other candidates stand on specific issues.
The full candidate field
Each candidate has the same campaign finance status: no figures are on file for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand.

Policy positions and campaign finance
None of the seven candidates has a documented policy position on file. As a result, there is no official record here assigning a position to Pingree, Duprey, Piantidosi, Pietrowicz, Roberts, Russell or Small on any particular federal issue.
Campaign finance totals also are not on file for any candidate. There are no listed amounts for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for Pingree or any of the six other candidates. Without those figures, the candidates’ fundraising and spending cannot be compared.
Party labels identify each candidate’s listed affiliation, but they do not by themselves establish an individual position on an issue. The incumbent designation identifies Pingree as the current officeholder; it does not describe a policy stance.
Election details to follow
