Charlotte Nutt for House District 79 is the first political candidate sign I have ever put out in my yard.
I strongly feel like she is bringing a refreshing perspective to local government that we need. She’s running as an independent because it’s not about the label of a party, it’s about the people she’s representing.
Candidates like her are the future to repair this divided political climate, and to have us refocusing on being neighbors and seeing the power we have as small local communities.
I have respect for that, and for some of the choices she has made throughout her campaign to stay true to her values and what she wants to represent.
No one will have a 100% agreeable viewpoint: we’re human, with different experiences that shape our opinions. But I feel like Charlotte would listen to them and strive to make the most representative choice in office.

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.
