For positive change, people should vote for Democrats at all levels. People might say, “But the Democrats have been in charge.” However, the Republican Congress has obstructed meaningful change. Worried about slow wage growth? Vote for Democrats who support a living wage for all and develop jobs for the future. Concerned about the Constitution? The […]

Step up, vote ‘yes’ on 4
Raising the minimum wage is vital for Maine and will give more than 180,000 hardworking Mainers a well-deserved raise, providing necessary relief to families struggling to make ends meet. That helps small businesses by putting income into the pockets of folks who will spend it locally. But what makes the initiative truly unique is its inclusion […]

Bellows supports tax relief
Shenna Bellows, running for state Senate in District 14, really gets it regarding property taxes. Local taxes have not gone up due to choices on local spending. The state has been continually stepping away from its long-standing funding of basic responsibilities. I support Bellows because she supports property tax relief for senior citizens, families and […]

Support for Eric Brakey

While I may disagree with his position on particular topics, he engages in respectful dialogue and often incorporates my suggestions, while not necessarily changing his position. I met him almost a year before he was elected to his first term. He was a regular attendee at most […]

He has years of experience managing and tracking registry and ownership documents. He has been a leader of people in a county-wide effort. And his customer service skills have been honed […]

Keim understands the elderly
I first met Lisa Keim when she came to my house in Rumford earlier this month. She told me how she tries to go door-to-door to listen to the residents of Senate District 18. It was a pleasure to talk to her and listen to her priorities if she is elected. Particularly, I like how […]

Guaranteeing a majority
Referendum Question 5 would allow voters to rank candidates, from first to last choice and to require a majority of the vote to win in elections for governor and the U.S. and Maine Senate and House. In 1820, the Constitution of Maine required a majority of the vote to be elected governor, based on the […]
