The majority in Augusta seem to always be working to deprive us hardworking Mainers of our rights and freedoms as they increase spending and handouts. But I support Rep. Laurel Libby, who is fighting for freedom — and at the very least enabling us to keep more of our own hard-earned money — on our […]

We have an election coming up within the next month. We have two candidates. One promises to uphold the Constitution and the democracy that we have in the United States. The other said he would become a dictator on Day One, and he could use Project 2025 to become that dictator. We cannot stand to […]

Donald Trump is much like the four-term governor of Louisiana, Edwin “Fast Eddie” Edwards (d. 2021): flamboyant and widely popular, despite a proven reputation for corruption, a teetotaler and nonsmoker, thrice-married and a chronic letch. Trump’s blind, obsessive quest for reelection parallels Edwards’ insistence that only death could prevent him running for reelection in 1983. […]

Lewiston Senate candidate Peggy Rotundo is a proven leader with a strong record of delivering for all Mainers. She is a steadfast advocate for quality public education, accessible health care, affordable prescription medications, and safe housing. I’ve known Peggy for approximately 14 years through her dedicated service in the Legislature and her active involvement in […]

Dan Campbell has coached and helped young people all his life, at Edward Little High School, St. Dominic Academy, and the University of Maine at Farmington. Dan has also worked constantly for the homeless, where the need is enormous. He’s spent his life working for both the young and the needy. I will vote for […]

State referendum Question 3 reads: “Do you favor a $10,000,000 bond issue to restore historic buildings owned by governmental and nonprofit organizations, with funds being issued contingent on a 25% local match requirement from either private or nonprofit sources?” As a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit Poland Spring Preservation Society, I […]

I’m supporting U.S. Rep. Jared Golden for Congress. Rep. Austin Theriault promises he will put “people over politics,” but he voted against family leave, raising the minimum wage, and favored a “right to work” bill that would weaken labor unions. So what people is he talking about? He has made a big deal of $50,000 […]

Over 40 years ago, in Marine Corps boot camp, I swore an oath that doesn’t expire. To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I still, enthusiastically, honor that oath today. The only candidate for state representative of Auburn and Minot who deserves my vote is Laurel […]

The election of our next president is coming up. We have to choose between a deranged, scowling madman or a well-educated, considerate woman who has our best interest at the forefront. How refreshing to listen to talk of the future from a smiling face. Women have always cared about the basic things in life — […]

I did not know Colleen Strickler, candidate for House District 104, when she entered the race. I have asked her questions, watched the candidates’ forum and feel compelled to vote for her on Nov 5. Colleen is a New Gloucester Select Board member, served as a library trustee and owned a small business. She is […]
