Leaders in the Senate and House are a mixture of legislators in new positions, familiar positions, and geographic concentration for the Democrats or dispersion for the Republicans.

Sen. Mattie Daughtry, who led the successful 2023 effort to enact the Paid Family and Medical Leave law, was elected to preside over the 35-member Senate.

• Majority Leader: Teresa Pierce (D-Falmouth)
• Assistant Majority Leader: Jill Duson (D-Portland)
• Minority Leader: Trey Stewart (R-Presque Isle)
• Assistant Minority Leader: Matt Harrington (R-Sanford)

Newly elected Rep. Ryan Fecteau, who was termed out from running in 2022, was elected to preside over the House, a position he held in the 130^th Legislature and earned bipartisan respect for the difficult task of managing the 151-member body.

• Majority Leader: Matt Moonen (D-Portland)
• Assistant Minority Leader: Lori Gramlich (D-Old Orchard Beach)
