The four replacements suggested by the Democrats are:
. Joe Clark, Mattawamkeag town manager and a former state representative from Millinocket.
. Steve Stanley, a state senator from Medway,
. Laura Sanborn of Alton.
. James Dearmon of Orono.
Blanchard, who will be sworn in on Dec. 1, served as a commissioner for 18 years.
