Rep. Seth Berry, D-Bowdoinham, said Thursday that he is no longer seeking reelection to the Maine House and will focus on a statewide referendum effort to create a consumer-owned utility company. Berry, who has been a leading critic of Central Maine Power Co. and advocate for public ownership, was unopposed in seeking the Democratic nomination for the newly redistricted House District 52 seat, which includes Bowdoinham, Richmond and part of Bowdoin. The Sagadahoc County Democratic Committee will need to caucus in the coming weeks to choose a new candidate.
