I write in support of Jess Fay, who is running for re-election in House District 66. In her first term, she has proven herself as an advocate in Augusta, and has continued to go door-to-door to listen to the constituents in her district. As a business owner, like so many Mainers, she can relate to […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Claxton respects all opinions
In this turbulent and polarized political climate, it is important that citizens vote for candidates such as Ned Claxton. I have known Claxton for decades and worked with him in different capacities. He is a person who can work with all people and is more than willing to listen and work with people who disagree […]
I am voting for Jared Golden
I am supporting Jared Golden for Congress in the 2nd District. Golden was raised in the district (Lewiston) and understands the needs of the area’s people. He understands the way of life and culture here. As a U.S. Marine combat veteran, he understands the area’s veterans. He understands health problems as well as hard work […]
An honor to vote for Cloutier
Lewiston has a recent history of sending superb legislators to Augusta, ones who know how important it is to work across the aisle: Peggy Rotundo, Margaret Craven, Nate Libby, Jared Golden, to name a few. Now there is another superior candidate on the horizon, one who has shown her ability to work across ideological divides […]
Lucky to vote for Janet Mills
I have admired Janet Mills from afar for a number of years in her role as attorney general of Maine. She does her work with integrity, energy and grit. She has worked diligently to defend and protect Maine’s most vulnerable. She has a thoughtful, well-developed plan for how to move Maine forward in the future. […]
Support for Eric Brakey
I support Eric Brakey for the U.S. Senate. His platform is common sense, and he will fight for Maine. I believe he will honor the Constitution, support the middle class, pursue Main Street economic policies for good-paying jobs, protect vulnerable citizens, address health care, fight corporate welfare, secure this country and pursue fiscal responsibility. Growing […]
Nelson Peters for the state Senate
Nelson Peters has had a career in public safety, retiring from both the Lewiston Police and as the deputy chief of the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department. Being a former Lewiston city councilor, he wants to continue his public service as a state senator. Peters will support policies that will bring jobs and greater opportunities. He […]
Janet Mills — serving the people
As a retired American government teacher, I know the value of comprehending the U.S. Constitution, Maine Constitution and Maine statutes. Janet Mills has knowledge, understanding and experience with how Maine government is set up — policies, law making and judicial/executive processes. Mills will stand up, speak out and work for all Mainers. She will follow […]
Protecting U.S. sovereignty
That caravan of migrants headed for America’s southern border is nothing more than a Trojan horse. Women and children are placed at the front of the line to act as human shields. Behind them, the majority are military-age males. It is not the flag of the United States of America they are carrying. Democrats are […]
Don't be misled on Question 1
I hope that the voters of Maine pass Question 1 in November — the Universal Homecare ballot initiative. Older Mainers, veterans and those with disabilities deserve the freedom to choose how and where they live and age instead of being forced into nursing homes. Family care-giving can be physically, emotionally and financially draining. Question 1 […]
