She was unopposed in the Democratic primary, and faced independent Mark Cayer in the general election. During the campaign, Brooks published promotional materials referring to herself with the designation "M.D."[3] Maine law prohibits anyone who is not a licensed physician from referring to themselves as "M.D." if they purport to be a physician.[3] As a legislator, Brooks has pushed for single-payer health care in Maine.[4] Brooks served as the secretary of the Maine Democratic Party until 2018.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://legislature.maine.gov/house/hsebios/broohe.htm|title=Maine House of Representatives: Heidi E.
