Sally Cluchey

Rep. Sally Cluchey is a community leader from Bowdoinham running for reelection to the Maine House this fall. Sally has one goal when she wakes up each morning: to do what she can to help her neighbors. Sally’s advocacy for her community can take many forms, from ensuring that the town’s food pantry is stocked to assisting seniors who are aging in place to helping folks file their taxes to get the maximum return they’re entitled to.

Sally’s district is extremely competitive, with just 14 votes deciding her victory in 2024. The DLCC has designated her as a Target Race candidate to bring national attention and support to help ensure Maine Democrats win every battleground seat and retain their majority in the state House.

2026 is a historic opportunity to protect and expand the Democratic majorities in the Maine House and Senate.

Democrats have held a majority in the Maine Senate since 2018 and in the House since 2012, when the DLCC helped gain 15 seats to flip the chamber. Despite a tough year for Democrats nationwide in 2024, our work in Maine helped ensure the state legislature stayed blue. Since then, Democrats have built momentum with a pair of impressive special election wins, and this November, we aren’t taking a single hard-won district for granted as we approach a tightly contested midterm. 

The DLCC has been on the ground in Maine cycle after cycle, supporting state Democrats as we work to defend and expand our majorities in both chambers of the legislature.

We cannot take our Democratic majorities in Maine for granted, and 2026 is a critical year to win competitive races and ensure the state stays on a path of progress for years to come.
