Why Dave Cody is Running for Boothbay Harbor Select Board
Dave Cody isn’t just bringing experience, he’s bringing it here, to Boothbay Harbor.
Over the past several years, Dave has been actively involved in our town, serving on both the Planning Board and Budget Review Committee, helping make thoughtful, practical decisions that impact our community every day.
When our region faced challenges, including the 2024 flooding, Dave stepped up, helping navigate FEMA reimbursements and working behind the scenes to support recovery efforts. He has also helped secure grants that directly improved safety for our local fire department.
Dave spent 36 years in the fire service, including 13 years as Fire Chief in Salem, Massachusetts, where he managed a large department, budget, and team. That experience matters, especially when it comes to responsible spending, planning ahead, and making steady, informed decisions.
But what matters most is this:
Dave chose Boothbay Harbor.
He’s a homeowner here. His family is connected here. His focus is on helping keep this town strong, financially responsible, and a great place to live.

Dave brings:
- Real-world leadership experience
- A strong understanding of town budgets and planning
- A practical, steady approach to decision-making
Most importantly, he’s here to listen, work hard, and serve the community.
