Windham Democrat Bill Diamond, a former Maine secretary of state and longtime member of the Legislature, on Tuesday soundly defeated Kaile Warren, the former Windham town councilor and proprietor of the national handyman company Rent-a-Husband, in the District 26 Senate race.

Diamond won roughly 63 percent of the vote in the race for District 26, a newly drawn Senate seat that includes Windham, Raymond, Standish, Frye Island, Casco, and Baldwin.

Warren was the fourth Republican candidate to face off with Diamond in this year’s election. In September, Warren threw his hat into the race after the third candidate, Stuart “Toby” Pennels, a 55-year-old Casco-based financial adviser and Iraq War veteran, died as a result of injuries related to an Aug. 3 motorcycle accident near Rangeley.

In Windham, Diamond beat Warren 4,984-2,573. In Standish, he won 2,553-1,649. In Baldwin, Diamond beat Warren 407-325. In Raymond, the Democrat won 1,431-846. In Casco, Diamond won 972-664.

Results were not available from Frye Island, as of press time.
