Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Dana Childs (December 15, 1922 – April 23, 1999[1]) was a Maine politician, lawyer and jurist. Childs, who served as both a Democrat and Republican, represented Portland in the Maine House of Representatives. He served a two-year stint as Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives as a Democrat from 1965 to 1966. In 1966, Childs ran for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Maine, but lost to eventual Governor Kenneth M. Curtis.[2]

In 1973, Childs was nominated and later confirmed for the position of probate judge for Cumberland County largely because of his friendship with Republican leader David J. Kennedy.[3] Childs also served as a lobbyist for the Maine Central Railroad alongside Kennedy after their political careers ended.[3] He continued that position until the 1990s. Besides his political and law careers, Child was an avid horse enthusiast, serving as President of the Maine Harness Horsemen's Association.[4] He died at his home in Westbrook on April 23, 1999, from a heart attack.[5]
