It seems like the world is getting more chaotic every day. Taxes are going up; the price of food and the overall cost of living is making it harder for families to make ends meet. We need someone who can stay calm and carry on. Someone who can see through the noise and chaos that […]

Carol Bailey: Rep. Libby has shown decisive leadership
I recently received a legislative guide for House District 90 comparing Laurel Libby’s and Dan Campbell’s positions on major issues. Dan Campbell’s position was listed on one issue. Rep. Libby, on the other hand, made clear where she stands on eight of the 10 issues — that is decisive leadership. That is what is needed […]
Lisa Ptak: Rotundo ‘a staunch advocate’ for all Lewiston citizens
Why is a vote for Peggy Rotundo a vote for the citizens of Lewiston? More than being a Democrat, Peggy is a staunch advocate for all citizens of Lewiston, regardless of political affiliation. When Peggy’s strong leadership on the Appropriation Committee ignites her voice and votes for property tax relief, access to affordable health care, […]
Tom Fallon: Bryant understands need for change, growth in Oxford County
I support Bruce Bryant for Maine Senate District 19. As a lifelong resident of Oxford County, Bryant understands the obvious need for change and for growth in the area. He understands that job opportunities have seen a decrease over the last several decades, which has reduced the area’s population in half. Bryant knows investments must […]
Sarah Carter: ‘Look for the helpers,’ vote for Beal
What is that famous Mr. Rogers quote? “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” In our Western Maine community, a helper we can count on is Joan Beal, who is running for representative for District 81 in the Maine Legislature. I have had the pleasure of working with Joan on […]
Judy Weisman: Bryant a worker, leader for Senate District 19
Why should we elect Bruce Bryant as District 19 state senator? The following is a partial list of accomplishments from his previous service as state senator and state representative. Bruce chaired the committees of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry and of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. He was part of the Veterans Health and Legal Services Commission […]
John Patrick: Bryant offers honesty, integrity to Senate District 19
I have know Bruce Bryant for 40-plus years. We worked together in the Rumford mill and again when he and I served together in the Maine Legislature. On the issues of jobs and the economy, health care and protecting our traditional outdoor heritage, he has the experience to be ready Day One. Bruce is a […]
Clem Bechard: Political attack ads have become outrageous
After looking at the same ads repeatedly and the falsehoods on both sides, I think they should find a way that if a political ad against an opponent is false, there should be a fine or something. Some ads are so outrageous that I don’t understand how they are allowed to air. I would have […]
Kenneth Blaisdell: U.S. Rep. Golden ‘cares about us’
This summer, I had a surprising meeting with Congressman Jared Golden. Some friends and I were at a restaurant, and the congressman came in. He recognized one of my buddies (we’re all veterans) and asked if he could sit with us. He asked what we do for work, our hobbies and how our experience was […]
Benjamin Martin: Vote Cormier for Sabattus selectman
I support for Joe Cormier in his candidacy for Sabattus selectman. Joe is not only a dedicated public servant but also a neighbor, coach and active member of our community who understands the needs of Sabattus residents. Joe has worked tirelessly as a firefighter, keeping our town safe and serving on the front lines in […]
