Hello - I'm former Representative Erik Jorgensen, who, from 2012-20, Represented Maine House District 41, which includes Deering Center, Libbytown, Rosemont and some of the Portland neighborhoods near the University of Southern Maine.
This website is, with the end of my term, obsolete, but I have not yet found the will to euthanize it. Thank you for your support over the past eight years. I am honored to have had the opportunity to serve Portland and Maine.
