I worked with Neil McLean at the Somerset County District Attorney’s Office for a number of years. During Neil’s career as a prosecutor, he has handled a wide range of cases from juvenile misdemeanors to adult felonies, from conducting hearings in traffic court to trying felony cases in superior court. Neil is hard working, conscientious […]

I am writing this letter in support of Robert “Bob” McCarthy, who is running for state representative of District 93 in Lewiston. I have known Bob for over 35 years and can truly say he is a man who is honest, hard-working and sincere. His commitment to his family, friends and community is unquestionable. Bob […]

Who did people expect U.S. Sen. Angus King to endorse? He’s a Democrat to the bone, so there is no way he’d back Paul LePage for governor. King has made millions off the Maine people who seem to worship the ground he walks on. Time for him to dry up and blow away. LePage would […]

I support William Coffin for Androscoggin County commissioner. I’ve known Bill for several years. We met through the Lewiston Democratic Committee and the Androscoggin Democratic Committee. Bill is a graduate of Lewiston High School and the University of Southern Maine, obtaining a bachelor of science in vocational technology magna cum laude. He is also a […]

I have one wish. It’s not unattainable. That wish is that all the people running for political office would take even a fraction of the money they spend on their political ads and political signs, and use it to build housing for the homeless. Do our politicians really believe that the endless political ads and […]

As a mom and lifelong resident of Oxford County, I’m supporting Neil McLean for district attorney for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties. Neil has many years of experience as a prosecutor. I know firsthand his commitment to keeping our community safe. I also know he is a father of four school-age children. I’ve heard him […]

I ask people to vote for Janet Mills for governor because I’m a retired public health nurse and saw what Paul LePage’s administration did to Maine’s public health system. LePage dismantled the system and hired people who weren’t public health experts. When I started working as a public health nurse there were over 50 nurses […]

I wonder if people saw the ad by the Republican Governor’s Association, suggesting Paul LePage understands economic hardship. In it, we hear how LePage survived a heartbreaking childhood; he was homeless, he understands. But if LePage understood the pain of poverty, why did so many Maine children and families suffer from food insecurity during his […]

I cannot support a political party whose leader refuses to concede the presidential election that he clearly lost. Aided by his co-conspirators, including some Republican congressmen, he pushed the lie that the election was stolen from him, while he himself conspired to steal it from American voters. He fosters the use of violence and intimidation […]

A vote I am proud and excited to make this fall will go to Peggy Rotundo, who is running for Maine Senate District 21. Her involvement and gentle approach are integral in this community. These attributes embody civility so needed in politics today. Specifically, her respected record of support for those suffering with Alzheimer’s, the […]
