Heather B. Sanborn is an American politician and attorney currently representing District 28 (portions of the cities of Portland and Westbrook) in the Maine State Senate. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
Sanborn grew up in Portland [1] and attended Middlebury College where she graduated summa cum laude as the salutatorian of her class in 1997. [2] She received a Master of Science in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern Maine in 2004 [2] and taught high school in Cape Elizabeth,Maine. [1]
Sanborn graduated from the University of Maine School of Law in 2007 where she was the editor-in-chief of the Maine Law Review. [1] She worked as a law clerk to Kermit Lipez on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and as an associate in the litigation department at Ropes &Gray. [1] She has served on the boards of the Portland Development Corporation [3] and University Credit Union. [4]
Sanborn and her husband,Nathan Sanborn,co-own Rising Tide Brewery in Portland,Maine,and Heather serves as the director of business operations. [5] The brewery opened in 2010 and quickly outgrew its initial space,relocating in 2012. [6] As of 2020,Rising Tide employs 29 people and produces 4,500 barrels of beer per year. [7] Sanborn has served as the President of the Maine Brewers' Guild and has drawn on her law background to advocate for breweries around Maine. [1] [5]
Sanborn has drawn on her legal background to advocate for state-level policy changes that benefit Maine's craft beer industry. [8] In collaboration with the Maine Brewer's Guild,she submitted a bill to the 125th Maine Legislature that would permit breweries to sell their products on-site. At the time,breweries in Maine were only permitted to give away small samples of their products, [9] a business model which Sanborn and other industry leaders argued was not conducive to customer interaction and beer tourism. [10] The bill,LD #1889,was signed into law in April 2012. [10]
Sanborn ran unopposed for the 2016 Maine House of Representatives District 43 Democratic primary,and defeated Republican opponent Jeffrey Langholtz 65%-35% in the general election. [11]
In June 2018,Sanborn won a contested primary against Portland City Councilor Jill Duson. [12]
Sanborn ran unopposed in both the Democratic primary and in the general election in 2020 and was therefore elected to her second term representing District 28 in the Maine Senate. [11]
Sanborn co-owns and operates Rising Tide Brewery in Portland with her husband.
