126th Legislature

After winning a closely contested race for re-election in November 2012, Woodbury was the "policy architect" of a dramatic tax overhaul put forth by a bipartisan "Group of 11" legislators. Woodbury's tax plan called for the reduction in the state's income tax and increased consumption taxes as well as eliminating Maine's estate tax. The Portland Press Herald said the plan sought "to slash the state's income tax rate in half and make a host of other sweeping changes, including raising sales and excise taxes and eliminating exemptions".[5]

Woodbury also introduced a resolution calling on Maine's congressional delegation to support a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision in Citizens United v. FEC and the notion of corporate personhood.[6]

Woodbury announced on January 21, 2014, that he would not seek re-election.[7]

Days before the 2014 general election, Woodbury and others began a statewide citizen's initiative to replace Maine's plurality voting system with a ranked choice voting system as is used in Australia and for electing the mayor of Portland, Maine, among other places.[8]

Personal

Woodbury's father, Robert Woodbury, was chancellor of the University of Maine System and ran for governor in 1994. Woodbury earned his B.A. from Williams College in 1983, his M.A. from Harvard University in 1988 and a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard in 1991.[3] Woodbury has been an economist with National Bureau of Economic Research since 1998.[3]
