Deborah L. Simpson is an American politician from Maine. Simpson served as a Democratic State Senator from Maine's 15th District, representing part of Androscoggin County, including her residence in Auburn from 2008 to 2010.[1] She was elected to the Maine House of Representatives, representing Auburn, in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006, each time as a publicly financed candidate.[2] She was unable to seek re-election to the House in 2008 due to term-limits. In one of the tightest 2008 state senate campaigns, Simpson challenged incumbent Republican Lois Snowe-Mello.[3] She ran for the State Senate and unseated Snowe-Mello by 104 votes. In a Republican wave election, Simpson lost to Snowe-Mello in 2010.
In her only term in the Senate, Simpson chaired two committees, specifically the Government Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on State and Local Government.[2]
