I’m independent and vote on policies, not party. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris. In a nation increasingly pulled toward extremes, I’m seeking someone who brings moderation to governance. Who disavows the zero-sum approach that dehumanizes those who disagree with us. Who sees reaching across difference as the grist that helps America achieve our […]

My husband and I would like to express our support for Rep. Laurel Libby in the upcoming election. From the very first time we met her, we understood that she is an individual of high moral standing who also happens to be very determined and highly motivated. Since then I have seen her working on […]

We are fortunate to have Margaret “Peggy” Rotundo serving our state in the Maine Senate. I write to support her candidacy for continued service in Senate District 21. For much of her legislative career, Peggy has served as a leader for the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs. She co-chairs this important committee, […]

Dan Campbell — a friend, classmate and former teammate and coworker — is the Democratic candidate for Maine Legislative District 90. Most Auburn residents know Dan in some capacity — teacher, counselor, coach, advocate for the homeless — and running enthusiasts, both local and national, may know him as the logistics coordinator for the Santa […]

Apparently, U.S. Rep. Jared Golden’s detractors have nothing positive to say about Rep. Austin Theriault, so their campaign consists of negative attacks on Jared. I will never understand how folks who believe themselves to be honest and upright can stand in front of a camera and recite, not innuendo, not spin, not even of half-truths, […]

Have people seen the TikTok video about the man who ordered his exact Walmart shopping cart of 45 items from two years ago, and was dumbfounded when he saw the price tag with almost 400% increase? Even if people haven’t, I’m sure they can share in his astonishment. Everywhere we look costs are rising, especially […]

I am writing to endorse Dan Campbell in his campaign for state representative. My family and many others in Auburn have known Dan for many years, and he always impressed me as an excellent coach and mentor. It didn’t matter if one’s child was an elite athlete or a beginner. A man of strong faith, […]

I think some landlords are taking advantage of tenants who have less money and are having to pay more for rents. I have a friend who is paying $1,500 a month with nothing included. She is elderly and depends on Social Security to keep a roof over her head. Landlords should do more to help […]

I just finished watching the debate between Congressman Jared Golden and race car driver Rep. Austin Theriault. This was the first I have seen of Theriault, and I have to say I am disappointed. He seems like a nice guy, but one who is not ready for the big leagues. I looked into his resume […]
