I strongly support the re-election of Janet Mills for governor. Due to her calm, strong leadership, my company, Auburn Manufacturing, was able to employ our 50-person workforce throughout COVID. When COVID hit, she deemed manufacturers “essential,” assuring that we could maintain operations. We then qualified for federal loans to help us through those toughest months. […]

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we endorse the candidacy of Adam Lee for Maine House District 89. We have both known Adam in various settings — professionally and as a member of our neighborhood. Adam, in all things, listens seriously to complicated topics and works diligently to resolve them. He is a […]

It never seems to end, come election time, the money spent on television by “special interests” to get people’s votes on the candidates of their choice. Some of these attack ads are by political action committees that so often get people elected by fabricating untruth. Imagine if all of the nonsense that goes on in […]

In the current world of partisan bickering, it is refreshing to see a congressman like Jared Golden. His calm demeanor and thoughtful approach in representing Maine’s District 2 is something we need more of in Washington. Even though I may disagree with some of his votes, I certainly appreciate the time he takes in explaining […]

I’m so glad to be able to support Anne Gass for the Maine House of Representatives, District 104. I know her to be a smart, open minded, approachable individual.

I write in support of Ed Rabasco for district attorney. I have known Ed for many years. I can say that he is honest, smart, and a real leader. People respect his opinion and rely upon his good advice. He can take complicated situations and figure out what is the best course. When he tells […]

Our local politicians are nice people. Peggy Rotundo, Margaret Craven, Michel Lajoie and Jared Golden have represented our city for years. Look around Lewiston. Can people tell me what they’ve accomplished? We’ve seen a rise in crime, drugs, homelessness and housing projects. Portland has used Lewiston as a storage space to house their overflow of […]

It’s hunting season in Maine. And, as a Central Maine Power employee, I am proud that CMP land is open for Maine recreation. In fact, right now, Versant and CMP both allow access along thousands of miles of their power lines across the state. These corridors are open to all sorts of recreational activities like […]

Years ago, I wrote a letter to the editor about LifeFlight helicopters flying over our house at all hours of the day and night (“A life-saving service,” Aug. 1, 2015). We live on the top of Oak Hill in South Monmouth, which is equidistant from the Lewiston Central Maine Medical Center helipad and the highway […]

It is with great pleasure and pride that I support Kristen Cloutier for election to the Maine House of Representatives, District 94.    I am privileged to know Kristen as a long-time colleague, dedicated public servant, fellow working mom, and proud Lewiston resident. In all aspects of her life, Kristen leads with authenticity, care, and […]
