I am writing to support the candidacy of Joan Beal for House of Representatives for District 81.
Joan and I have common backgrounds, both as former teachers and former foster parents. I know firsthand the strength, dedication and caring it takes to do both of those jobs, and the moment I meant Joan I recognized those attributes.
Additionally, Joan has been active on town committees.
The Oxford Hills area is lucky to have someone like Joan step forward to be willing to represent them, someone who cares about small communities and wants to see them thrive, someone who cares deeply about all people.
Loraine Duclos, Greenwood

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
