What are Jared Golden’s real qualifications to return to the U.S. House of Representatives? His vote to impeach President Trump for “abuse of power” begs me to wonder if he even knows the constitutional requirements to remove a president. What lawful grounds exist by code/section to put the president on trial for being a “meanie” […]

Please Vote. Vote to honor the truth. Vote to condemn all violence. Vote for respectful discourse. Vote for compassion and empathy toward all our neighbors. Vote to recognize our incredible scientists. Vote for cooperation, collaboration and compromise. Vote to improve our imperfect Union. Vote for free and fair elections. Vote for the pillars of our […]

I am writing in support of Sara Gideon, a supporter of affordable health care for Maine people. The Republican Party is attempting to kill the Affordable Care Act, ending protections for people with preexisting conditions, like a pregnant woman, an elder with heart issues, or a child with cancer. All of these individuals deserve coverage. […]

It’s pretty simple, really. Sen. Collins repeatedly voted against the Affordable Care Act and continues to want to repeal it, despite the fact that we’re in a national health emergency during which workers are losing their jobs and their employee health insurance. Sara Gideon has been speaker of the Maine House of Representatives and has […]

For those who are passionate about racial and social justice, please join me in voting for Greg Kimber, who is running against state Rep. Randy Hall (Chesterville, Wilton, New Vineyard, Strong, Industry, Temple). Unfortunately, Rep. Hall voted against banning conversion therapy, prohibiting Native American mascots, and amending Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day. Greg Kimber, […]

What documentarian Michael Moore has written is true: President Trump is “a consistent, absolute, unrelenting, fearless, and professional liar.” That truth should suffice to deny him a second term. Trump’s lies are often laughably lame. Recall, for example, his insistence that he was being sarcastic when he suggested injecting disinfectant to cure COVID-19. Rubbish — […]

I was glad to see that Scott Cole is running for Oxford County commissioner. As our Bethel town manager, no detail escaped his eye or to-do list. I once had a short conversation with Scott concerning a cemetery and specific work that needed to be done by the town. Months later with time approaching to […]

When I think about which local candidate to vote for in an election, character is an important factor, but more importantly are their views affecting our town, the state, and the future our kids and grandkids will inherit. Randall Hall voted against giving loggers the right to form cooperatives and demand better wages and working […]

As a registered independent voter, I do not vote for a person because of their party affiliation, but because of their views and community commitment. Therefore, I am voting again for Ned Claxton. Ned has already exhibited the qualifications of the type of legislator I want in Augusta.  As a doctor, he listened carefully to […]

Attack ads against Susan Collins say that Washington has changed her. We know that isn’t true. The only thing about her that has changed is the increase in her resolve to fight for the working men and women here in Maine. What also hasn’t changed are the lies that the dark money from out of […]
