I hope people join me in supporting Kamala Harris for president and Jared Golden for Congress.
One can be sure they would protect Social Security, Medicare and veteran benefits. They would protect women’s reproductive rights. They have been working to improve workers’ rights and fair wages.
After the Oct. 25 shootings in Lewiston, Golden really did not flip on gun rights. He realized that we should have better safeguards for the safety of Mainers. AR16-type weapons are not for hunting. They are people killers.
Donald Trump is said to be mentally unstable by professional doctors. Electing him would endanger all of us if he became commander-in-chief of our military and have access to our nuclear codes and secrets.
And, finally, Austin Theriault is running for Congress against Golden. While he was a Maine state representative in Augusta, he didn’t show up to vote for 45 important bills.
People should vote.
Diane Grandmaison, Lewiston

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.
