Emily Cain served 10 years in the Maine Legislature. She says that she saw too many of her peers leave the state to find work. She intends to change that by attracting more jobs to the state of Maine. She will deliver far more to Mainers than Bruce Poliquin’s undistinguished accomplishments during the past two […]

Trump and history
“Those who forget history will be doomed to repeat it.” In 2000, Americans chose George W. Bush, a boastful businessman with no presidential experience. Two disasters resulted: the Iraq War in his first term and a major recession in his second, with millions losing their homes and jobs. Donald Trump is another Bush, famous by […]

Reynolds has the skills
I encourage the citizens of Androscoggin County to vote for Tom Reynolds for register of probate. I have known him for more than 10 years and I am very much aware of the skills and abilities he will bring to the job. My eight years as county commissioner have given me great familiarity with the […]

A puppet president
A basic question in this year’s presidential campaign is whether the American people are going to let a foreign power (Russia, through WikiLeaks) determine who will lead the country. During this presidential campaign, all “leaks” have been directed against Hillary Clinton; nothing has been released against Donald Trump. All evidence points to Russia. Do we […]

In rebuttal: Ranked-choice voting can work
After reading the guest column offered by another resident of North Carolina, Lee Mortimer (Sun Journal, Oct. 30), I decided to offer a counterpoint. On Nov. 8, Maine’s voters have the opportunity to adopt ranked-choice voting, which is Question 5 on the ballot. Whether Maine should use RCV is up to the voters. What I […]

There are literally tens of thousands of privately owned firearms in the state of Maine, and every single one of them will have to be carried to the police station to be entered into a computer database […]

They don’t care about senior citizens
I am sick and tired of reading and hearing news about the candidates’ private lives. As a senior citizen, I am more interested in what a candidate will do for me and other seniors. Medications are being dropped and the Medicare people do not give a darn about us. The supplement insurance that the president […]

Cain’s claims are flat-out lies
Born and raised in central Maine, I grew up in a big-hearted Franco-American family. My grandfather’s home actually was in the area that is now the Lewiston High School tennis courts. My father worked in the public school system and my mother was a nurse. They are both in their 80s now and rely on […]

The good jobs of the 21st Century, including manufacturing jobs, will require an investment in education, training and support for innovation at small businesses. Sen. Patrick’s approach to welfare reform has made sure […]

Breton represents the next generation
I will be voting for Elijah Breton to be the state representative for District 65 in the upcoming general election. Maine needs more younger representation in Augusta. As a college student close to graduating, I am incredibly concerned that I will not be able to find a job in Maine after graduation. There simply are […]
