Cumberland County DA Jackie Sartoris Wins Strong Endorsement from Former Colleague
Augusta, Maine — Cumberland County District Attorney Jackie Sartoris received a resounding endorsement from a longtime political ally who says the county is safer under her leadership. The support came during a campaign event held at the Augusta Civic Center, where longtime environmental policy advocate Tom Hennessey praised Sartoris’s track record and vision for public safety.
“Cumberland County is safer today because Jackie Sartoris is our district attorney, and I want to keep it that way,” Hennessey said in his remarks. “I’ve known Jackie since we first worked together on environmental policy in Augusta. Even then, she showed the same mix of backbone and practicality she brings to the DA’s office now.”
Hennessey’s endorsement highlights Sartoris’s background in state government, where she served alongside him on initiatives aimed at protecting natural resources and strengthening community regulations. He noted that her early experience in policy made a noticeable impression, foreshadowing the approach she now applies to prosecutorial duties.
Sartoris, who took office as the county’s top law‑enforcement official in 2022, has emphasized a focus on both accountability and community outreach during her first term. She has spoken frequently about the importance of collaboration between law‑enforcement agencies and local residents to address crime and improve safety outcomes.
“Jackie’s commitment to fairness and her pragmatic problem‑solving skills have made a real difference in our community,” Hennessey added. “Her dedication to public service isn’t just a promise—it’s a proven track record.”
The endorsement comes as Sartoris campaigns for re‑election, positioning herself as a candidate who blends a firm stance on law enforcement with a practical approach to the challenges facing Cumberland County. Hennessey’s support underscores a broader coalition of local leaders who see her tenure as a positive force for public safety.
In a district where voters weigh experience against new ideas, Sartoris’s backers point to her tenure as evidence of steady progress. They argue that her continued leadership will help sustain the improvements the county has experienced over the past two years.
Sartoris herself thanked her supporters, saying she remains “grateful for the trust the community has placed in me and committed to continuing the work that makes our neighborhoods safer.”
The endorsement from Hennessey is expected to bolster Sartoris’s campaign momentum as she seeks to secure another term leading Cumberland County’s prosecution efforts.
