I am super excited about Eric Giroux, candidate for state representative. Eric is a guy who believes that, as he takes care of his young family, he can also help the families of western Maine. He is a man who believes in service. People should just look at what he does for work: firefighter, EMT, […]

Lee Clement has served us well. I know him as a director and secretary for our homeowners association and as a two-term city councilor representing our ward. His habit of researching the issues and consulting his constituents for their views, and then speaking intelligently, is the mark of a true citizen representative. Lee cares about […]

I enthusiastically endorse Bettyann Sheats for the Maine Senate in District 20, covering Auburn, Durham, New Gloucester and Poland. Bettyann is an honest, principled, hardworking, experienced and competent advocate for our community. She is committed to family values and has worked effectively for policies that support families, including a safe environment and lowering the cost […]

Time and again we are heartbroken by the news of mass shootings, even as Lewiston joined the ever-growing list. As we struggle to prevent more deaths and keep our children safe, we turn to our state legislators to support efforts to address mental health needs in Maine. Unfortunately, state Rep. Austin Theriault, candidate for Congress […]

It is a pleasure to write once more in support of Peggy Rotundo for the Maine Senate. Thorough and effective are two qualities she wears proudly.

I’m writing about the presidential debate, and what has been going on.

The proof is the open border, high cost of living, giving billions of dollars to foreign countries hand over fist and not […]

Bizarre news that is generally true is sought and covered by the media. So be it. Donald Trump concocts bizarre news, but it is generally false. This is ridiculous. This nonsense should be relegated to a distant corner. We’re tired of it. Norm Gellatly, Auburn

I’m writing in support of Joan Beal in her run to become representative in the Maine House for our District 81. I couldn’t be happier with her experience and dedication to the issues she would work on. Joan has been very active in making our communities strong and healthy. She is truly rooted in community.

Donald Trump claims to have a “concept of a plan” for health care. However, the Project 2025 document written by his associates provides some detail. It suggests “Remov(ing) barriers to direct primary care … [whereby] doctors contract directly with patients for their care on a subscription basis …” An insurance-avoiding relationship with people’s doctor’s office […]

I’m writing in favor of Charlotte Nutt to be my state representative. Charlotte is an independent candidate for House District 79, the towns of Paris, Sumner, West Paris, and Woodstock. She chose to be an independent because she is determined to serve everyone. Beginning in March, she started going door-to-door to introduce herself. She went […]
