Ben Chipman is a community organizer in Portland, Maine, and a former Green Party state legislator. In 2010 he switched his registration to Independent and ran for re-election as such in 2012. He was in a three-candidate race in the 119th House District in Maine and easily defeated both his Republican and Democratic opponents.
Ben Chipman is one of just a handful of Independent state legislators nationwide.
Anyone who wants to do the work, I’d love to know how many independents and third party legislators there are and where.
