Born in Belfast, Maine, on October 18, 1976, Pingree grew up on North Haven, an island where her father, Charlie Pingree, builds boats; her mother is Chellie Pingree, who has represented Maine's 1st congressional district in the U.S. House since 2009. After North Haven Community School she earned a political science degree at Brown University, and she held a Coro Foundation fellowship in New York City in 1998 and 1999. From 1999 to 2001 she was political director at iVillage.com.
Pingree won election to the Maine House of Representatives in 2002 and served four terms through 2010 for the 36th district, made up of ten islands and shoreline communities in Knox and Hancock counties.
She chaired the Committee on Health and Human Services, and in her third term she was elected majority leader for 2006 to 2008.
From 2008 to 2010 she was the 99th speaker of the Maine House, the second woman to lead the chamber in Maine's history, and term limits ended her legislative service in 2010. She later managed Nebo Lodge, the inn and restaurant of her mother and stepfather, and ran North Haven Sustainable Housing.
In January 2019 Governor Janet Mills named Pingree to head the new Office of Policy Innovation and the Future, where she co-chaired the Maine Climate Council, which produced the climate action plan "Maine Won't Wait". She resigned from the office on May 16, 2025.
Pingree announced on June 10, 2025, a campaign for governor to succeed Democrat Janet Mills, who is term-limited.
In the primary of June 9, 2026, she placed second in first preferences with 23.3%, behind Nirav Shah, a former director of the Maine Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at 26.8%, and won the nomination after four rounds of tabulation, defeating Shah 56% to 44% in the final round.
In the general election she faces Republican Bobby Charles and independent Rick Bennett.
