Mary E. Small (born September 12, 1954) is an American politician from Maine. A Republican, Small served in the Maine House of Representatives from 1979 to 1994 and the Maine Senate from 1994 to 2002.[1] [2] From 2000 to 2002, Senator Small served as the Republican Floor Leader. Small was unable to seek re-election in 2002 due to term limits. Small represented Bath, Maine and Sagadahoc County.[3] [4] In July 2020, she was described as an ally of U.S. Senator Susan Collins when she filed a legal challenge against conservative independent Max Linn in an attempt to keep him off of the November Senate ballot. The challenge was ultimately unsuccessful, though Collins won re-election nonetheless.[5]
Small graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in political science in 1976.[3]
