I hope people will join me in voting for Ed Rabasco for tri-county district attorney Nov. 8. As a respected attorney who has practiced in Androscoggin County for 35 years, as well as a school board and planning board member, his resume is impressive enough. What I find equally compelling is his plan to address […]

Lewiston is incredibly fortunate to have Peggy Rotundo running for state Senate this year. She is highly qualified, capable and willing to tackle the tough challenges we face.

Robert Macdonald: All students should receive a proper education

Do we really need the bully in the pulpit again? Haven’t we heard enough of that gravelly voice spitting out nasty barbs at those who may disagree with his archaic ideas? Being an adult, Gov. Janet Mills has taken the high road and is refusing to attack her opponents; her accomplishments speak for themselves. There’s […]
Joan Macri: Augusta needs Rotundo’s character, integrity, work ethic
Peggy Rotundo is a stellar candidate to represent Lewiston in the Maine Senate. It is beyond difficult to find people to put in the countless hours needed to both campaign and then do the job they are elected to do. But, as she has done all her life, Peggy has again stepped up. Her many […]
