David Corbett Announces Candidacy for State Senate District 32 seat

Lyman — David Corbett has announced he is running for the Maine State Senate District 32 seat. The district includes the towns of Biddeford, Arundel, Dayton, Lyman, and Hollis in York County.

Corbett and his wife, Sylvia, live in Lyman.

“I’m running for Senate to be a strong voice for my community and the people who feel they are being left behind by current policies in Augusta,” said Corbett. “We need to turn this state around, get people back to work, and make it a place where people want to stay to raise their families and start businesses. In the Senate, I’ll be a strong voice for our freedoms and against government overreach, and a voice for commonsense policies.”

Corbett has served as a Transport Officer, Road Deputy, and Corrections Officer for the York County Sheriff’s Office and as a police officer in both Biddeford and Saco. He also worked as a criminal justice professor and served as a judicial marshal and a court mediator.

He is a graduate of several programs of the Maine Criminal Justice Academy, including the Basic School, the Juvenile Justice Academy, the Reserve School, the Corrections School, and the FBI Criminal Investigations School. He also holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Maine and a master’s degree in Public Administration from Golden Gate University.

Corbett is currently the pastor of Oak Ridge Bible Church in Biddeford. In addition to his service as a pastor and his law enforcement career, Corbett has also been a lobsterman, fishing out of Camp Ellis.

“I’m glad to have David running for the Senate. His proud career in law enforcement shows his strong commitment to serving his community and also gives him an important understanding of some of the most difficult issues facing our state. As we tackle many tough issues in the years ahead, David will be a valuable member of the Senate,” said Senate Republican Leader Jeff Timberlake.
