AUGUSTA - Rep. David Sinclair, D-Bath, was sworn into the Maine House of Representatives on Thursday by Gov. Janet Mills after winning a special election on Nov. 7, 2023. Sinclair now serves House District 50, the seat previously held by Rep. Sean Paulhus, who resigned in July after he was appointed by Gov. Mills to become the Sagadahoc County Register of Probate.
"I am thankful to the people of Bath for giving me the honor of representing them in Augusta," said Sinclair. "I look forward to working with my new colleagues on a range of issues in the coming months, including our state's housing crisis."
Sinclair will begin his duties in the Maine House immediately.
"We are lucky to now have Rep. Sinclair in the House Democratic Caucus," said House Majority Leader Mo Terry, D-Gorham. "I look forward to working closely with Rep. Sinclair on affordable housing measures, equity issues and all the other matters that are important to his constituents and the people of Maine."
Sinclair served two terms on the Bath City Council from 2008-2014. He lives in North Bath with his wife and two children, and runs a Bath-based law practice where he focuses on services for the underprivileged. Sinclair has also served on local boards and committees, including the boards of the Bath Area Food Bank and Two Bridges Regional Jail Authority.
