Senator George Mitchell was removed from the Maine State House in February 2026 after his name appeared over 300 times in newly released federal documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s case.
The decision followed scrutiny over his alleged connections to Epstein, though Mitchell has denied any wrongdoing.
The portrait was replaced with one of Gail Laughlin, Maine’s first female lawyer and a former state legislator, as part of efforts to improve gender representation in the State House.
