A Gray Town Charter amendment to put the Town's budget to referendum passed overwhelmingly, 2,159-996.

State Representative Susan Austin beat back a challenge from Democrat Anne Graham, winning in Gray 1,482-896. The margin narrowed when results from North Yarmouth and Pownal came in, but Austin was a clear winner, 2,198 to 1,979. And in District 110, Mark Bryant was returned to the State House, 2,033-1,195, over Clayton Haskell.

State Senator Karl Turner defeated John Simpson in Gray and in the District as a whole. Turner got 10,867 votes to Simpson's 8,224.

The Taxpayers' Bill of Rights and Woodcock were beaten statewide by fairly wide margins.
