On June 14, Republicans have a critical opportunity to select the best candidate for U.S. Congress to unseat Democrat Jared Golden in November. That person is Liz Caruso. Liz is a true conservative grassroots candidate, not a career politician. She has invested 30 years as a Maine Guide, served as selectwoman in Caratunk for 16 […]

At a time of significant turmoil for the University of Maine system, UM Farmington will be in good hands with Dr. Joseph McDonnell serving as interim president. This assessment is informed from two relevant perspectives, one based on direct experience as a doctoral student of McDonnell, the other from my previous career as a tenured […]

I am so pleased to support Kristen Cloutier in her run for election to the Maine House of Representatives for House District 94. She currently represents House District 60 and has done an exceptional job in advocating for her constituents. Kristen is strong, smart, dedicated and responsible.  She is also compassionate, thoughtful, and respectful. She […]

I was born in Maine. It’s my home, yet I longed to leave. Beautiful sunset walks on the beach in the summer come at a price; long, icy cold winters that seem never to give birth to spring. But when I had my own family, this was the place I wanted to raise my children. […]

I was truly impressed at the section in the May 6 Sun Journal, pages C2-C3, showing the outpouring of support for us nurses. It is not under any circumstances an easy job. Besides the highly technical aspect our profession, there is the highly emotional factor as well. Unlike medical doctors, nurses have a closer bond […]

Our government is out of control. No matter who we vote for, most politicians end up supporting special interests over the Maine people — giving us more taxes, more mandates, and more intrusions into our personal lives. That’s why leaders like Eric Brakey are rare. Brakey puts principle over party, working with anyone to do […]

Not since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis have we ever been closer to nuclear war. I remember how close we came […]

She has legislative experience as a former state representative. In the Legislature Bettyann worked to strengthen support systems for veterans and […]
