Running unopposed, Matt Dunlap has been nominated by the Democratic caucus to another two-year term as secretary of state.

In a lighthearted proceeding, Dunlap was nominated by Sen. Dennis Damon (D-Trenton), who described him as someone with a quick wit, an ability to think on his feet, and an ability to be fair.

Rep. Leila Percy (D-Phippsburg) quickly upstaged Damon by singing her nomination speech.

To the tune of "It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas", Percy sang: "He's passionate for a cause, he's an expert on our laws, and he loves Maine's history."

As Dunlap took the podium, he remarked: "How do you guys like me now? Check that off your list - I got a song."

As he accepted the nomination, he touted his work digitizing the state archives and maintaining the integrity and expertise surrounding the state's elections.

Dunlap was nominated by a joint Democratic House and Senate caucus. His nomination will go before the full body tomorrow.
