I have spent time with Seth Carey, teaching him how to hang drywall or playing kickball or having a barbecue with my family. He has helped me with legal questions. I am a good judge of character and I know Seth Carey is a good person who will fight for regular people. Edward Varnum, Mexico […]

Visiting the elderly at home
My great-grandmother celebrated her 102nd birthday in the home where she and her husband raised their six children — the home with a ‘dragon’ living in the basement, beautiful paintings on the walls and hand-woven rugs on the brick floors. Lilli, the doll given to me by her home care nurse, serves as a reminder […]

Ever since my grandfather died, more than 25 years ago, my grandmother has lived with my parents because she is afraid to live alone. When I was younger, she acted as another parent to me, offering me guidance and support throughout my childhood. My grandmother is now 91 years old and needs more help than […]

Seth Carey for district attorney
I met Seth Carey a year ago when a family member needed a lawyer. He was very kind and open-minded with the whole case. He sat and listened to everything that my family member was going through and not once judged my family member, which is very important this day and age. I have enjoyed […]

People can trust Angus King
I hope others will join me in voting for Angus King for the U.S. Senate on Nov. 6. As an independent, he can bridge the gap between the parties to get something done. He has supporters in both parties. He is respected as a moderate, self-made successful small businessman with integrity and vision. As a […]

Question 1 isn't the answer
I have been a home health care aide for four years. The people’s referendum on the ballot Nov. 6 is for “universal home health care.” As a home health care aide, I find the need to voice why I disagree with Question 1. Question 1 proposes to allow access to home health care to more […]
