On Nov. 5 when we cast our votes, I ask all veterans to think hard about who they vote for. Right now we have an untold number of veterans living on the streets of our country while undocumented immigrants are being put up in luxury hotels and given many things, courtesy of the American taxpayer.

Randy Gauvin and I have known each other for many years, both in the medical profession and at our church. During that time I have come to admire his work ethic, common sense and integrity. He would make an outstanding legislator in the Maine House of Representatives. Ken Rowe, Farmington

I have lived and taught in the Lewiston/Auburn area for years, and I have been blessed to know and work with some remarkable individuals. One such individual is Bettyann Sheats.

I am writing to heartily endorse our representative, Kristen Cloutier, for reelection to the Maine House of Representatives for Lewiston’s District 94.

As a family member of a 20-year veteran of Maine’s health care workforce, I hope my neighbors join me in voting for Kristen Cloutier for House District 94 in November. Rep. Cloutier has worked tirelessly to expand the health care workforce in Maine. Last year she sponsored a bill that established a commission that will […]

Dan Campbell is the candidate I support for House District 90 state representative. I have known Dan for 30 years and have seen him work tirelessly for student athletes, as well as those with substance abuse and other life issues. He has earned all of the accolades and awards he has received. I wasn’t surprised […]

Lee Clement is running for the Legislature from House District 96. Lewiston needs this thoughtful, intelligent, successful, wise, honest, transparent, cooperative and kind man to help make Augusta do the right thing for Lewiston. His career as a public safety professional is perfect preparation for understanding and solving this city’s and state’s problems at a […]
