There is an amazing candidate running for state Senate (District 18). Lisa Keim is an incredible lady whom I have had the privilege of calling a friend for many years. She is a highly motivated, intelligent lady who doesn’t give up. She once told me “We can’t complain if we don’t get involved.” She is […]

Patrick will speak his mind
I will be voting on Nov. 8 to re-elect state Sen. John Patrick. I have known Sen. Patrick for many years as a friend and can attest he is the rare breed of politician who is dedicated to his principals and constituents. He has proven his commitment to the elderly, working families and the people […]

Patrick knows what to do
This letter is to express my strong support for the re-election of Sen. John Patrick. Patrick is a kind, caring and giving man. He has a heart of gold. As a past member of the Maine Legislature, I have worked very closely with him. His passion for people of his district runs deep. His values […]

Cain gets my vote
I must admit that I was undecided as to whom I would vote for in the Second District election for Congress. That is, until I was sickened by Bruce Poliquin’s false attack ads launched against Emily Cain — the worst of which completely distorts her position on a bipartisan Maine legislative bill that overwhelmingly passed […]

Get rid of referendum process
Without rendering an opinion on the upcoming referendum questions, I must object fundamentally to the whole concept. Maine is a representative democracy, which is somewhat by design adversarial and inefficient. While true that the current questions have been difficult to reach consensus with a result compatible with the wishes of those who have advocated those […]

Sen. Collins sets good example
It is inconceivable that a special agent with the U.S. government would stoop to criticizing Sen. Susan Collins on her enlightened and well thought out ethical position on not supporting Donald Trump (letter, David Oshansky, Oct. 21). Sen. Collins, who finds herself unable to support Trump, for obvious reasons, also feels she cannot support Hillary […]

Gov. LePage misinformed
Gov. Paul LePage has come out swinging against all of the referendum issues that will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. Furthermore, he declared that Questions 1, 3 and 5 were unconstitutional. He went on to say that Question 3, concerning universal background checks, would also create a gun registry. Just where in the wording […]

Three competent candidates
Voters in Auburn, Minot, Mechanic Falls, New Gloucester and Poland have an opportunity to elect three competent, experienced female candidates. Kimberly Sampson (Senate District 20) is a dental hygienist whose interest in health-care policy led her to graduate from law school this year, giving her an understanding of the issues the district faces regarding health […]

Election issues
I hope voters will determine what is important in government and what is superficial. Hillary Clinton favors open borders for immigration, higher taxes, socialized health programs and continued spending. As Secretary of State she unethically abused her office to raise funds for her foundation, was careless with classified material and abandoned her people in Benghazi. […]

Brakey gets the job done
For those people wondering what’s going on in Augusta, it makes a lot of difference who represents them and what information they receive from their elected officials. Through the years, I have pretty much voted a straight ticket. It didn’t seem to matter if it was a Democrat or a Republican who got elected, because […]
