I won’t be voting for anyone with an “R” after their name. On a local level, why would the Republican Party want to put Kerryl Lee Clement as a candidate for the Maine House after he was involved with so much hate and division, accused of violating Maine’s Freedom of Access Law, and subsequently voted […]

I am tired of politics as usual in the state of Maine. It is for this reason that I enthusiastically endorse Charlotte Nutt to represent District 79 in the Maine House of Representatives. As an independent, Charlotte is not beholden to either of the two parties that dominate Maine politics. Instead, she can focus on […]

Rep. Kristen Cloutier creates results for Lewiston and all of Maine. In order to help victims and survivors of the Oct. 25 mass shooting in Lewiston, Kristen helped to pass the Maine Mass Violence Care Fund — a landmark legislative achievement. In other states, funding for victims of mass violence has slowly dried up as […]

As always, “special interests” are spending tons of money trying to get our votes in November, using news media to either promote or denote the opponents. We’re told prices on fuel, groceries and housing are apt to get better. Promising to help the middle class is always on the agenda, and never happens. President Biden […]

Joan Beal is running to represent us in Maine House District 81, and I am blown away by how lucky we citizens of that district are. After a lifetime of community service teaching in classrooms, halfway houses, as a court-appointed special advocate for children, plus serving on town budget and planning committees, Joan understands that […]

On Laurel Libby and Leonard Leo — a Sept. 6 story in the Bangor Daily News outlined the flow of $375,000 from the Federalist Society leader’s Concord Fund down to state Rep. Libby’s “Dinner Table.” Underneath all the lip service to “freedom,” here are Libby’s real interests: ending reproductive rights for Maine women and overturning […]

Who is Rep. Laurel Libby representing? On April 3, the Maine House of Representatives voted against a bill that would restrict unauthorized neo-Nazi paramilitary training in the state after advocating for their rights to exercise their freedom of speech. Now Libby, a Bangor native, is running for reelection to her third term in the Maine […]

Charlotte Nutt for House District 79 is the first political candidate sign I have ever put out in my yard. I strongly feel like she is bringing a refreshing perspective to local government that we need. She’s running as an independent because it’s not about the label of a party, it’s about the people she’s […]

Dan Campbell is running for state representative in House District 90. I am voting for Dan because he is clearly the best candidate. He cares deeply for the people of Auburn, his hometown. His exemplary work as a teacher, coach and volunteer for those needing housing and/or mental health supports shows his commitment to all […]

I am writing in support of Bruce Bryant for state senator in District 19. He has served in the Maine House of Representatives and Maine Senate. Bruce has worked hard for workers’ rights and raising wages, with that commitment continuing from his time as president of Local 900. As an outdoor enthusiast, Bruce has served […]
