Lucas Lanigan

Lucas Lanigan is an American politician and businessman. Since 2022, he has served as the representative for the 141st district in the Maine House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served on the city council of Sanford, Maine, from 2016 to 2021, and served as the city's deputy mayor at one point.

In October 2024, Lanigan was charged with one count of domestic violence aggravated assault, stemming from an incident where he allegedly choked his wife for around 20 seconds. His arrest led to numerous calls from Democratic leaders in the House for Lanigan to resign, including speaker Rachel Talbot Ross and majority leader Maureen Terry. Lanigan won re-election in 2024, defeating his Democratic opponent by just a singular vote. In January 2025, an ethics investigation into Lanigan was started by the House.
