Thomas J. Connolly (born September 25, 1957) is an American attorney and Maine Democratic Party activist. Connolly, a Scarborough resident[2] and attorney based in Portland's Old Port, ran for Governor of Maine in 1998 against incumbent unenrolled Angus King, receiving 13%.[3] During the 2000 presidential election, Connolly leaked news of George W. Bush's 1976 arrest in Kennebunkport, Maine for drunken driving.[4] In October 2006, Connolly was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for "standing on the side of the highway dressed in a rubber Osama Bin Laden mask, waving a plastic gun and a sign protesting a Taxpayer Bill of Rights."[5]
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from Bates College in 1979 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Maine School of Law in 1982.[1][6] He and his wife Elaine have three children. He practices law in Portland, Maine.
