Jeff Harmon has always been a natural leader. During his first career in law enforcement and public service he began as a patrol officer in the Auburn Police Department. Based on his leadership skills, he rose to become the deputy chief of the Maine State Police. Then in his second career with a software company, […]

Not only does our governor of Maine want feticide on demand, now she wants to drive the North Atlantic right whale to extinction. There are only about 350 of these animals left. She used COVID money from the federal government to give every Mainer who filed their income taxes $850, when this money actually should […]

Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque is a real estate developer. He and his like-minded cronies’ thinly veiled attempts to steer Auburn away from its longstanding comprehensive plan to maintain the precious natural resources is not a mystery or concern for affordable housing, which evidently belongs in Lewiston or on the backs of low income homeowners in […]

I can sympathize with Cal Thomas’ decrying our decadent, “anything goes culture” (“We must care about what’s appropriate,” Sun Journal, June 21). The evidence is everywhere. On Yahoo’s website, for example, I sometimes see laudatory reports with photos about female celebrities pushing the envelope by appearing publicly in broad daylight wearing tops that only hide […]

Unfortunately, the article by Steve Collins (“One of the Androscoggin’s mysteries: Why did Lewiston Falls become Great Falls?,” June 25) ended with the myth about the Native American named “Lewis” as the source of the name of “Lewiston.” Actually, when the Pejepscot Proprietors granted the land to Moses Little and Jonathan Bagley in 1768, they […]

I am glad to see that Jeff Harmon is running for mayor of Auburn. The city needs a more transparent and sensible approach to development. The large and still expanding apartment complex on Court Street is but one example of housing that is only affordable for upper middle-income individuals and families. Additionally, it adds significant […]

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll say it anyway … the mayor of Auburn needs to get over himself. He thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, every time. If he didn’t think of it first, it can’t be the best idea. If he and his buddy John Gendron don’t have their hand in it, […]

I am writing to express my support for the reelection of Carl Sheline as Lewiston’s mayor. Over the past couple of years, I have had the privilege of witnessing Carl’s commitment to our community, and it is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Carl’s candidacy. From the moment Carl assumed office, he made it very […]

I am writing to express my deep appreciation to Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline for once again throwing his hat into the ring to serve another two years. Carl has shown his deep level of concern for all segments of Lewiston these past years, and he has worked hard to move us forward in all arenas. […]

I was very disappointed to see that our House representative, Adam Lee, voted in favor of bill L.D. 1619, which allows for an abortion up until the moment of birth, with the approval of a qualified medical professional. This is one of the most extreme abortion bills in the country. For this reason, it is […]
