I have served as fire chief for the town of Paris since 2019. I’m writing to recommend Michael Lance for Maine House District 79. In May 2022, Michael joined the Paris Fire Department to serve the members and visitors of his community. He has been, and continues to be, an invaluable asset to our public […]

I support U.S. Rep. Jared Golden for Congress because he has common sense, doesn’t care about “optics” or the “party line,” and is one of too few in Congress trying to wrestle with America’s gigantic debt problem. Note: The Clinton administration was the last to balance the budget; presidents of both parties have run up […]

I am one of the many fortunate people to have run for Dan Campbell, and the things that made him a great coach would make him a phenomenal leader for House District 90. As a coach, he cared equally about every member of the team, no matter if they were a state champion or the […]

Frankly, I am appalled. As we approach the one-year mark of Lewiston’s horrific mass shooting, Rep. Laurel Libby still has her ammo giveaway from last year on her website. Crass, politically self-serving and tasteless in the extreme. But more important — it is heartbreakingly thoughtless and disrespectful to the victims, families, friends and community impacted […]

I am supporting Charlotte Nutt to represent Oxford County House District 79 and the towns of Paris, West Paris, Sumner and Woodstock. She has chosen to run as an independent with the hope of helping to bridge the divide between people of different party affiliations. I met Charlotte when she visited our neighborhood in Bryant […]

How did the state get so far off track? When will enough be enough? We are facing a tipping point. As a landowner, I am shocked at the latest increase in property taxes that I am paying, and I know others are, too. In my opinion, the state is in crisis. Rep. Laurel Libby is […]

I had the good fortune of being coached by Dan Campbell during my time on the track and field team at Edward Little High School. During countless hours of training, pep talks, and competing, I witnessed firsthand Coach Campbell’s unwavering commitment to his athletes. Since those days on the track, I’ve been continually impressed by, […]

Again, election season is upon us. In 2022 I was elected to represent House District 82 in the Legislature. I was able to serve with great legislators such as Sen. Lisa Keim. Because she is term limited, we have another great candidate. Enter Joseph Martin — a man who I have seen work hard to […]

I am writing to support Laurel Libby’s candidacy for state representative. I am a senior citizen, with concerns about the direction that our state is headed with regard to spending. Laurel has excelled as our current representative, to listen to concerns and to inform us of the issues and decisions that are being made in […]

Julie McCabe is the right person to represent Lewiston in the State House. I had the privilege to work with Julie as a teacher at Next Step — an innovative school program for a new generation of learners. As an educator, Julie brings classes out into the real world and the real world into the […]
