Home care would have been good
I appeal to all Mainers who are voting in November. I believe that is it necessary to have home care that can provide help to those in need. I will be voting “yes” on Question 1, for universal home care. It would help those who have financial struggles. For those who have a family member […]

Rule of law won out over mob rule
Maine’s Sen. Susan Collins made a great, powerful, historic speech explaining the reason for her “yes” vote for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. She covered exactly every phase of the steps taken, including that a person is innocent until proven guilty. I believe that every Republican should be proud of […]

Super-rich play the wrong music
“He who pays the piper, calls the tune.” According to opensecrets.org, Bruce Poliquin’s campaign has received a mere 1 percent of his campaign funds from individual contributions of less than $200. Jared Golden has received 26 percent of his funds from such contributions. That confirms what we already know. Golden risked his life for the […]

Bringing a mature manner to Augusta
Ned Claxton was always seen as a calm, mature, steadying hand when I had to call him. I work in an emergency department and they can be busy, hectic places. Whether in dealing with our staff or at the patient bedside, Dr. Claxton could always be seen as an advocate for the patient. No hidden […]

Golden will meet the challenges
Not since Ed Muskie and Bill Cohen have Maine voters had the unique opportunity to send a candidate to Washington, D.C., with the integrity and leadership qualities of Jared Golden. Golden is hard-working, down-to-Earth and a true Mainer, wishing to serve every citizen in the state of Maine. He knows the needs of Maine’s people […]
