A member of the Maine House of Representatives on Tuesday pleaded guilty to charges relating to breaking the state’s clean election law, the Portland Press Herald reported.
Rep. Randall Hall, R-Wilton, was accused of forging 10 signatures on documents for the clean election program in April 2024. He was indicted in February on charges of aggravated forgery, unsworn falsification and criminal violation of the Maine Clean Election Act.
Under terms of a plea agreement, 10 charges of aggravated forgery were dropped, according to the Press Herald.
Hall was sentenced on Tuesday to 48 hours in jail that he will serve through an alternative sentencing program, and 100 hours of community service, which Hall’s attorney said he had already started, according to the Press Herald.
The fourth-term Republican lawmaker won reelection to represent House District 74 with 66% of the vote over Democrat Gregory Kimber.
House District 74 comprises Avon, Carthage, Industry, New Portland, New Vineyard, Perkins Township, South Franklin, Strong, Temple, Washington Township, Weld and Wilton
