I wish to give my support to Jennifer Kreckel for Oxford County probate court judge. I have known her for more than 20 years and can speak highly of her integrity and ability.

Patrick’s positive record
I am writing to voice my support for John Patrick for state Senate. As Nov. 8 approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in negative storytelling, rumors and attacks. It’s easy, during a particularly grueling election cycle, to forget about all of the good work legislators such as John Patrick have accomplished. It’s easy to […]

She didn’t say much when her husband got involved in sexual acts right in the White House. She should be concentrating on the problems facing this country. Steven Mortimer, […]

A struggle at minimum wage
I hope the people of Maine will vote “yes” on Question 4 to raise the minimum wage, gradually and carefully, to a wage that helps people and their families live a decent life here. I graduated from high school three years ago and I knew I wanted to take care of mentally disabled people as […]
