Hailing from rural Maine, Maxmin is the youngest woman ever to serve in the Maine State Senate, at 28 years old. She was elected in 2020, after unseating a two-term Republican incumbent and (former) Senate Minority Leader. In 2018, she served in the Maine House of Representatives after becoming the first Democrat to win a rural conservative district.
Chloe Maxmin received an honors degree from Harvard College, where she co-founded Divest Harvard. She is also the Co-Founder of JustME for JustUS, a Maine-based organization focus on rural youth civic engagement and climate organizing.
Maxmin and her campaign manager/best friend, Canyon Woodward, co-founded Dirtroad Organizing, a new non-profit dedicated to rural organizing. They also wrote a book together, Dirt Road Revival: How to Rebuild Rural Politics and Why Our Future Depends on It.
