Sanford-Springvale Democrats

Today's the day! See you at the caucus to kick off the 2026 election season. Doors open at 12:30 at Sanford City Hall. We hope to see all Dems from Sanford/Springvale, Shapleigh, Newfield, Alfred and Waterboro. Let's take back our country!!!

So refreshing to hear my friend, Gov. Spanberger, lay out a clear-eyed case for why we're headed in the wrong direction—and how we turn it around.

Americans are sick of the incompetence, corruption, and cruelty. They want a government that *works.*
 
Kudos to the Governor on her inspiring response.

We have a great lineup of guests at our caucus on Sunday, March 1 at 1 pm. Representatives for Graham Platner, Hannah Pingree, Troy Jackson, Angus King III and Shenna Bellows will be on hand, and you can meet our local Maine legislative candidates as well. Doors open at 12:30 at Sanford City Hall!

Monday evening, Feb. 23 at 6:30 pm is our monthly Zoom. Dax Morrow will join us to talk about her work organizing stand outs in Sanford, and about the upcoming Art Alive event. We'll also have updates on the caucus, the primary election and Sanford Clean Air & Water Coalition. Message us for link!

We have a candidate for House District 142, and it’s a good one!

Registered Maine Democrats - caucus weekend is Feb. 28 / Mar. 1. Here in Sanford we are caucusing with Alfred, Waterboro, Shapleigh and Newfield Dems. If you're outside our area, find your local caucus here: www.mainedems.org/2026Caucus
