[constituency_baseline] District summary: Maine is a predominantly rural state in the Northeast with a population of 1.4 million. Its economy relies on tourism, agriculture (particularly lobsters and blueberries), shipbuilding (Bath Iron Works), healthcare, and a growing technology sector. Maine is the whitest state in the U.S. (92.6% non-Hispanic white) and has the oldest median age. The state is politically independent; Senator King himself is an Independent, and Maine often splits its votes between the parties.
