Having worked at the local paper mills in Jay and Rumford for over 40 years, I know the importance of elected officials who truly support the working class. That’s why I hope my fellow residents of House District 76 support Tamara Hoke for state representative. As library director at the Jay-Niles Memorial Library for 18 […]

I write in support of Sen. Peggy Rotundo. She truly cares about the people of Lewiston. Peggy supports Maine schools. She ensured the legally required 55% state funding of public education, with Lewiston receiving the highest amount. Additionally, she provided the opportunity for high school graduates from the classes of 2024 and 2025 to receive […]

We need representation in Augusta that will actually listen to their constituents and stay on course to be their voice. Rep. Laurel Libby has a proven track record of voting to represent the people of our district and, by extension, the people of the state of Maine. At times it has even meant voting against […]

I support Congressman Jared Golden for his strong position on expanding health care coverage. As a senior citizen I am acutely aware of the need for access to affordable, high-quality care. It is not unusual for seniors to visit one’s primary care physician more frequently. Ailments, injuries, sickness and chronic health conditions require medical intervention […]

We wholeheartedly endorse Dan Campbell’s candidacy for Maine House District 90, representing Auburn and Minot. We have known Dan since he coached our son and daughter in cross country running, track, and cross country skiing at Edward Little High School from 2006-08. Dan has always demonstrated a commitment to this area and compassion for those […]

Dan Campbell has been a pillar of our community for decades, and he would be an outstanding member of the Maine House of Representatives. His life experience, deep humanity, and knowledge of the strengths and needs of our community and the state of Maine are second to none. Dan’s career as an educator and coach […]

In the Oct. 2 Sun Journal, a letter from Renee Cote regarding Rep. Laurel Libby prompted me to send my thoughts. During the very early stages of the COVID pandemic in 2020, we had no protections from the virus other than to mask up and to isolate. Ms. Libby’s staunch defense of her right to […]

This is a letter to all voters — I have a favor to ask. Election Day is fast approaching, and in my recollection today the country — our country — is as polarized as it has ever been. What to do? I’m sure each of those reading this has a friend, or at least an […]
