I support Eric Brakey for Maine Senate. As county commissioner for Auburn, Poland, Minot and Mechanic Falls, I am keenly aware of Maine’s problems, both with budgets and employment opportunities. I also see, first-hand, how poor representation in the Maine Senate continues to adversely impact communities when it comes to taxes, jobs and vital services. […]

G. Mathews: Elect a new, young person
I agree with Trudy Jacqmin’s letter (Sept. 12) that John Cleveland should “refund the quarter of a million dollars he has over-billed Poland since 2006.” I am ashamed of his use of political connections to line his own pocket. It is definitely time for a change. It is time to get rid of all those […]

L. Gouette: Won’t add to the debt
I am a 15-year-old student in Auburn, and not old enough to vote. If I could, I would vote for Eric Brakey for the Maine Senate. Government overspending is piling debt onto my generation. How will we be able to pay this debt when many college graduates can’t even find jobs? As a young person, […]

M. Driscoll: He has earned my vote
As a life-long Democrat, I will be voting for Republican Eric Brakey because I know he cares about people. Attendees of Community Little Theater remember Brakey from performances as Felix Ungar in “The Odd Couple,” Mortimer Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace,” and Brother Maynard in Monty Python’s “Spamalot.” People don’t know the behind-the-scenes work […]

R. Tiner: He can make positive changes
It is election time again. With many important issues on the ballot, I hope voters will turn out and make their choices. In the past, I have found campaign pamphlets at my doorstep and in my mailbox and didn’t have an opportunity to personally meet the candidate. That changed recently when Eric Brakey came to […]

C. Brakey: Words from a proud mother
When our children are born, we all hope they are going to make the world a better place. My son, Eric Brakey, is trying to do exactly that by running for the Maine Senate. My family goes back four generations in New Gloucester. My husband and I both graduated from Gray-New Gloucester High School. We […]

B. Fraser: Two great candidates
The voters of Minot are fortunate to have two great candidates running for office on Nov. 4. Two people who will fight for us in Augusta. Eric Brakey is running for state Senate. He is a young, hard worker who is listening to our concerns. He will work hard for fiscal responsibility, find common sense […]
