Mike has devoted his life to serving Auburn and our region.

Mike Scott has spent a distinguished 30-year career as a firefighter, dedicating his life to protecting his community and mentoring the next generation of first responders.

I grew up in Sabattus, Maine, where I learned the value of hard work and looking out for your neighbors. At just 14, I followed in my father’s footsteps and joined the Sabattus Fire Department—starting a lifetime of service to others. About 30 years ago, I moved to Auburn, Maine, and it’s been home ever since. It’s where I raised my family, built my career, and committed my life to serving this community.

My wife and I have been married for 30 years, and we raised two daughters who went through Auburn schools and are now out on their own building lives of their own. Like any parent, I want to make sure the opportunities that were here for our family are still here for the next generation.

In 1996, I joined the Auburn Fire Department and spent the next three decades working my way through the ranks—from the front lines to Battalion Chief. Along the way, I learned what it means to lead under pressure, make tough decisions, and always put people first. For me, the job was never just about fighting fires—it was about protecting our neighbors and keeping our community safe.

I also spent years as a union leader, including serving as President of the Professional Fire Fighters of Maine, standing up for firefighter safety, fair wages, and the well-being of working people across our state. I’ve always believed that when workers are respected and supported, our communities are stronger.

I retired this year after 30 years of service, but I’m not done serving. I’m running for the Maine State Senate because I believe it’s time for leaders who understand what working people go through every day—and who will stand up for them in Augusta.
