SACO — William “Bill” Doyle has thrown his hat in the ring for the candidacy of Saco Mayor.

Doyle, who is serving his second term as city councilor for Ward 3, said he’s committed to fair and proactive leadership for the citizens of Saco.

Doyle lives with his partner, Amber, and stepson. He was raised in Saco and has degrees in criminal justice and legal studies. He is currently the regional director for the National Correctional Employees Union, representing correctional workers in Maine and New Hampshire. Doyle also serves as an umpire for area softball games and sits on several local boards and committees.

“Our schools, property taxes, commercial development, increased traffic, and infrastructure are some of the complex issues we are facing. The next four years are pivotal to Saco’s success,” said Doyle. “My goal as mayor is to lead a transparent, efficient, and fiscally responsible local government navigating us through these challenges.”

The winner of the Saco mayoral race in November will serve a four-year term, expiring in 2023, as the city transitions to a new election cycle. Beginning in 2023, mayoral terms will be three years.
