Abbe Ramanan: McCabe would fight for a better future for Lewiston
Julie McCabe has the strong Democratic values the city of Lewiston needs. Although she is new to politics, she has already shown a strong commitment to supporting the people of House District 93, particularly our youth, through her work at Next Step, where she has helped many students reach their full potential and learn career […]
Kathryn Tracy: Sheats should be Senate District 20’s voice in Augusta
I’m grateful for the upcoming chance to vote for Bettyann Sheats to represent District 20 in the Maine Senate. She brings a lifetime of sound judgment, extensive community service and small business experience. Her background in the Army informs her awareness of veterans’ issues, as well as her conviction of what is accomplished only through […]
Ben Fletcher: Campbell aims to make people’s lives better
House District 90 candidate Dan Campbell leads, fights, and achieves with morality. As my high school track and cross country coach, Dan made a huge impact on my growth as a person. Twenty-five years later, he continues to be a role model for parts of who I want to become. Coach Campbell has dedicated his […]
Deborah Murphy: Rep. Libby fights for her constituents’ freedom
The majority in Augusta seem to always be working to deprive us hardworking Mainers of our rights and freedoms as they increase spending and handouts. But I support Rep. Laurel Libby, who is fighting for freedom — and at the very least enabling us to keep more of our own hard-earned money — on our […]
Ken Johnson: U.S. needs candidates who will protect American freedom
We have an election coming up within the next month. We have two candidates. One promises to uphold the Constitution and the democracy that we have in the United States. The other said he would become a dictator on Day One, and he could use Project 2025 to become that dictator. We cannot stand to […]
William LaRochelle: Trump and Edwards: Two crooks in a pod
Donald Trump is much like the four-term governor of Louisiana, Edwin “Fast Eddie” Edwards (d. 2021): flamboyant and widely popular, despite a proven reputation for corruption, a teetotaler and nonsmoker, thrice-married and a chronic letch. Trump’s blind, obsessive quest for reelection parallels Edwards’ insistence that only death could prevent him running for reelection in 1983. […]
Abdifatah Ahmed: Rotundo is Lewiston’s clear choice for Senate District 21
Lewiston Senate candidate Peggy Rotundo is a proven leader with a strong record of delivering for all Mainers. She is a steadfast advocate for quality public education, accessible health care, affordable prescription medications, and safe housing. I’ve known Peggy for approximately 14 years through her dedicated service in the Legislature and her active involvement in […]
Jim Wellehan: Campbell offers ‘a better world for Maine’
Dan Campbell has coached and helped young people all his life, at Edward Little High School, St. Dominic Academy, and the University of Maine at Farmington. Dan has also worked constantly for the homeless, where the need is enormous. He’s spent his life working for both the young and the needy. I will vote for […]
David Andrews: Support Question 3, keep Maine history alive
State referendum Question 3 reads: “Do you favor a $10,000,000 bond issue to restore historic buildings owned by governmental and nonprofit organizations, with funds being issued contingent on a 25% local match requirement from either private or nonprofit sources?” As a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit Poland Spring Preservation Society, I […]
