However, Maine credit unions didn't pick up a net gain in the 2012 state elections. Two credit union board members lost their seats in the Maine House: Rep. Herb Clark, vice chair at $69 million Katahdin FCU and who was termed out of the House, was unsuccessful in his campaign to win a seat in the Maine Senate; and Rep.
