David Jaye (born 1958) is a former Republican politician from Michigan. He was the first state senator in Michigan's history to be ousted from the State Senate. He represented a district in Macomb County from 1997 to 2001, when he was forced out of the Senate.
Dave Jaye received his master's degree and bachelor's degree with honors from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and was elected to the Macomb County Commission in 1984.
Jaye was elected State Representative for Michigan's 32nd District in 1988 defeating then incumbent Democratic representative Bill Browne. Dave Jaye was an advocate of hunting and gun rights and led to Michigan adopting a CCW, Carrying a Concealed Weapon law. He served on the Executive Board of the Macomb County Taxpayers' Association. Dave Jaye was the leader of efforts to ban affirmative action for colleges and universities.
Jaye then served in the House until 1998, when he vacated his seat to run for the 12th District State Senate seat (representing Macomb County) to fill the seat that was vacated by Sen. Doug Carl, who died of a heart attack. He was replaced by Alan Sanborn, who took the seat he left in a special election. Jaye won the Senate seat and served there until his expulsion in 2001.
Among the many reasons for his expulsion, the most cited were his three drunken-driving convictions.
