Wells, MaineWe proudly support Rep. Dan Sayre in his campaign for State Senator. Dan has been a strong advocate throughout his years as a State Representative and we believe Dan will be a strong voice for our community in the Senate. During service in the House, Dan has consistently worked to support Maine families, backing the expansion of Maine’s Child Tax Credit and helping enact the Paid Family and Medical Leave Act, which provides income protection for working families. Dan has also championed efforts to strengthen the childcare workforce, expand apprenticeship programs, and secure cost-of-living increases for essential direct care workers.
Dan has shown a strong commitment to public service and to creating opportunities for future generations. At a time when many voters are concerned about special interests in politics, Dan remains focused on the needs of families and communities.
The message is clear: Dan is committed to serving the people of Maine.

Steven Sawyer, Chairperson, Democrats of the Kennebunks and ArundelWhat impresses me most about Dan is not simply his positions on the issues, but the kind of person he is. He listens carefully, approaches difficult questions thoughtfully, and understands that representing a community means working with people who may not always agree with you.

Kennebunk, MaineDan’s priorities reflect what most of us care about day to day. He's fought to keep public education strong and to open up affordable pathways into good careers for Maine students. He understands that protecting our land, air, and water isn't a luxury — it's tied directly to the livelihoods so many Mainers depend on. And he's worked to expand access to affordable housing and quality healthcare. Maine needs steady, principled leadership right now. Dan Sayre has earned my vote, and I hope he'll earn yours too.

While serving in the Maine House of Representatives, Dan consistently demonstrated his commitment to protecting our civil liberties, advancing our voting rights, and correcting socioeconomic inequalities that have long affected some of our fellow Mainers. We can expect no less from him if he is elected to serve in the Maine Senate. Dan’s integrity, intelligence, and heart are his strengths. I will be casting my vote for Dan. I hope you will, too.
