ME-HD141: Maine legislator (R) will not end reelection bid following arrest for alleged domestic abuse

Republican state Rep. Lucas Lanigan of Sanford will not be ending his reelection bid after legislative Democrats called for his resignation following his arrest last weekend for one count of domestic violence aggravated assault.

When asked whether he is still running to represent House District 141, his lawyer William Bly told Maine Morning Star, “Absolutely he is.”

“We have a principle in this country,” Bly said. “It is presumption of innocence.”

According to a police report, a Sanford police officer alleged that Lanigan strangled his wife after she confronted him and another woman about their reported infidelity.
