Mike Scott

Mike Scott is a retired firefighter and union leader from Auburn running to flip a seat in the Maine Senate in November. Mike has devoted his life to serving the community and spent 30 years as a firefighter, rising to the rank of Battalion Chief and serving as President of the Professional Firefighters of Maine, while mentoring the next generation of first responders. Mike is committed to ensuring the opportunities available to him remain open to Maine’s working families for years to come and is ready to fight in Augusta to create safer communities, improve public schools, and bring down the cost of living. 

This year the race for Senate District 20 is a highly competitive toss-up. With the support of the DLCC’s Target Races program, Mike is well-positioned to flip this seat and expand Democrats’ power in the Maine Senate.

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. Despite a tough year for Democrats nationwide in 2024, the DLCC’s work in Maine helped ensure the state legislature stayed blue. Since then, Democrats have built momentum with special election wins and impressive candidate recruitment across the state, and this November, we aren’t taking a single hard-won district for granted as we approach the tightly contested midterms.

The DLCC has been on the ground in Maine cycle after cycle to support state Democrats as we work to defend and expand our majorities in both chambers of the legislature. 2026 is a critical year to win competitive races and ensure Democratic majorities in the legislature can continue to deliver for the people of Maine.
