I am writing in strong support of Roland Poirier’s candidacy for Androscoggin County commissioner, District 2. Roland has a strong financial background, having served for many years as an executive for one of Maine’s credit unions. He has a deep connection to this community with a long history of service. He currently volunteers delivering Meals […]

U.S. Rep. Jared Golden has served Mainers well over the last two years. An independent-minded, moderate Democrat, Golden makes his decisions based on what he thinks is right for our district and our country. Few voters will agree with every decision Golden has made, but all can and should respect his thoughtful, deliberate process. Golden […]

I’d like to tell people about my friend, John Patrick. An avid gardener, he enjoys sharing his crop with friends and neighbors. He watches out for elderly neighbors, helping them with chores. Family is number one to him; John and Claire’s grandchildren are the joy of their lives. Service is the focus of John’s life; […]

I am writing to endorse Jim Handy for another term representing House District 58, Lewiston. I am grateful that he has been working tirelessly to protect and improve the way of life for the citizens of Maine. This includes ensuring insurance coverage for hearing aids, better access to more affordable prescription medicine, expanding access to […]

I know some people are judging President Trump by looks, his hair, and his lies (don’t we all lie?). If God can forgive, why can’t we? President Trump is pro-life; he does not want babies murdered. He works for all of us. I am a Christian and a Democrat, and I will be voting for […]

That’s the expression that comes to mind when I think of Ned Claxton, who is running for reelection as a state senator for Auburn and surrounding towns (District 20). I worked with […]

I appreciated reading the candidate review for Maine House District 64, representing Auburn and Minot. I have been pleased with the representation of Bettyann Sheats. I was particularly impressed with Ms. Sheats’ specific answers to the questions, especially when she specified vital areas of the state budget. By contrast, I read that candidate Laurel Libby […]

Sen. Susan Collins is an effective leader, and I am proud to support her reelection. She has been consistently ranked the most bipartisan senator, and she has never missed a roll call vote. Collins wrote the Paycheck Protection Program, bringing $2.3 billion to our small businesses and protecting more than 255,000 Maine jobs. Collins chairs […]

In her four years in Augusta, Bettyann Sheats has demonstrated unwavering support for public health. As a nurse practitioner working in public schools, I see children’s public health needs such as vaccination, first hand. In 2018, Bettyann supported a law to increase vaccination rates in school children as a critical public health measure. In 2019, […]

Yet, when asked to help folks with their top two 2020 issues, the economy and health care, our local politicians often forget who they work for: the people of Oxford Hills. […]
