BANGOR, Maine — Adam Goode won Maine’s House District 15 (Bangor) race on Tuesday with more than 70 percent of the vote. He’s 25, by the way.

Steven Butterfield, just one year older, had a tighter race in House District 16 (Bangor) against Doug Damon, an established political name, but still prevailed with 56 percent of the vote.

Henry Beck, at the tender age of 22, ran unopposed in House District 76 (Waterville) and soon will be the youngest legislator in the State House.

After the Election Day dust settled, Maine’s 124th Legislature is poised to be well-represented by Generation Y, at least in House districts north of Augusta. In all, six House candidates who are all in their 20s won elections in northern and eastern Maine districts, joining two other 20-somethings who were re-elected.
