Career

Douglass was the chair of the Auburn School Committee from 1989 to 1994, and she served on the Auburn City Council from 1994 to 1998.

Douglass began her term as State Treasurer on January 7, 2013.[4] Douglass stated after being sworn in that she hopes to persuade Governor Paul LePage to authorize the sale of voter-approved bonds, something which LePage has said he won't do until the State's financial picture improves.[5]

Maine Democrats nominated Douglass to serve a second term, but the Legislature selected the nominee suggested by Republicans, Teresea Hayes, a former Democrat.[6]
