Background

Sayers is a nurse who was co-chair of the Public Health Committee until Christopher G. Donovan took over as speaker in 2009. She lost her chair, but was named a deputy majority leader.

She voted against bills to restrict junk food in schools, require mandatory listings of calories on menus and legalize medical marijuana.  But she voted for key Democratic health bills such as paid sick days, Sustinet and pooling.

When it comes to getting votes, Sayers has a head start in every election: She is the mother of six, mother-in-law of four and grandmother of 11.

In 2010 Sayers helped lead a successful effort to restore funding for the licensed practical nurse program at the state's vocational technical high schools.
