Thomas J. Connolly (born September 25, 1957) is a Maine attorney and Maine Democratic Party activist. Connolly, a Scarborough resident[1] and attorney based in Portland's Old Port, ran for Governor of Maine in 1998 against incumbent unenrolled Angus King, receiving 13%.[2] During the 2000 presidential election, Connolly leaked news of George W. Bush's 1976 arrest in Kennebunkport, Maine for drunken driving.[3] 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 promoting a Taxpayer Bill of Rights."[4]
