From 2016-2020, Bettyann Sheats was a critically important state representative. She helped reduce the cost of health care for Mainers, increase the state share of funding for local schools, improve housing for veterans, and provide tax incentives for start-up businesses.  Now her candidacy for state Senate is even more vital. Bettyann backs Maine’s current law […]

I’ve known Anne Gass, who is running for House District 104 (New Gloucester and parts of Gray) for some 20 years. I’m proud to call her a friend. I can’t think a finer candidate than Anne, who is running as an independent. She is whip smart, eminently practical and has a great heart to boot […]

I’ve lived in Lewiston my entire life. I was born here to Franco-American parents and raised my four children here. When my kids were in school, I knew that Peggy Rotundo was someone who was smart, compassionate, and an advocate for people when they needed her. I recently found a photo from Montello School’s Night […]

“Maine: The Way Life Should Be.” Gov. Janet Mills has been leading our state to maintain our way of life by following the science and getting advice from the professionals in the health industry that saved lives during COVID-19. Maine’s people received a $850 check instead of lowering the gas tax, like Paul LePage wanted […]

The Clean Water Act is the only reason the Androscoggin River isn’t the most polluted in the country. Well, candidates in this election cycle are working hard to overturn these protections and destroy our drinking water. In 2014, Paul LePage was the first incumbent governor to be named to the League of Conservation Voters’ “Dirty […]

We are in the age of lies and liars. The brazenness with which some politicians repeat boldfaced lies just astounds me. Have they no shame? Historically, politicians have been knows to utter an occasional fib or little white lie, but ever since “Ole Goldilocks” down there in Mar-A-Largo burst onto the scene in 2016, lying […]

Under the administration of Gov. Paul LePage, tax breaks were given to the wealthiest Mainers, while cuts to programs like the Low-Cost Drugs for the Elderly or Disabled were proposed. Legislators Peggy Rotundo and Margaret Craven helped salvage that program at the time. Under the Affordable Care Act, there was a proposed Medicaid expansion that […]

Gov. Janet Mills is a great listener, problem solver and consensus builder. I have known her since 1980. She has always impressed me as an intelligent, thoughtful and dedicated community leader. As a retired public school educator, I am grateful for Janet leading with way, with the Legislature, to finally honor the state’s obligation to […]

I will be voting for Tamara Hoke for House District 76 in November. Tamara would listen to all concerns with an open mind and would fight for every Maine family. She would work hard with both parties to help Maine move forward. Her strong dedication to her community and state would serve us well in […]

Voters in District 20 (Auburn, Durham, New Gloucester and Poland) have an opportunity to return Bettyann Sheats to the State House. Her experience and service make her an excellent candidate for Senate. Her education at West Point, followed by eight years of active duty as a helicopter pilot, speaks to her values, competence and leadership. […]
