PORTLAND — Two Democratic House representatives have unenrolled from their party, eliminating the party’s outright majority in the chamber and reducing their advantage over Republicans to four representatives.

Reps. Denise Harlow, I-Portland, and Ralph Chapman, U-Brooksville, confirmed their withdrawal from the party Friday in messages to the Bangor Daily News.

Though unenrolling, Harlow said she “continue[s] to to be aligned with the core Democratic Party values.”

The move leaves the House with 71 Republican representatives, 75 Democratic representatives and then the five unaffiliated representatives, including three Independents, one Common Sense Independent and one unenrolled, according to the House legislative website.
