Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who has presided over some of the strictest COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the country, was reelected to a second term as governor in the rural New England state.

The 74-year-old Democrat beat out Republican challenger Paul LePage, himself a two-term Maine governor from 2011 to 2019.
