Brian Carrier is a man of his word
I am honored to highly recommend Brian Carrier, capable candidate for state representative to central and southern Auburn.

Coolidge approaches life positively
Eight months ago, all I knew about Misty Coolidge, Democratic candidate for state representative District 65, was that she owned the wedding barn with the cool fence on Route 100.

Imagine a nation with courtesy, respect

Please vote. Anne […]

Ned Claxton has an answer to polarization in politics. He won’t engage in defense of ideological positions. Instead, he will work against that very idea by listening — a skill that has served him well as a family doctor and one sorely needed in Augusta. In a time of political rancor, listening is a necessary […]

Expect high standards
There is nothing wrong with wanting the best and brightest immigrants to come to this country. Hard work and a little elbow grease works wonders if a person sets himself on the right path. The dream is alive and will, most certainly, be rewarded if a person’s heart is right and they have the willingness […]

Cherieann Harrison — experience matters
Experience counts. That is why I want Cherieann Harrison to represent me and the rest of the folks in District 114 in Augusta. Harrison is currently serving Wilton on its planning board and the regional school board, which she now chairs. Known for doing her homework and asking hard questions, she gets things done right. […]
