We wholeheartedly endorse Dan Campbell’s candidacy for Maine House District 90, representing Auburn and Minot. We have known Dan since he coached our son and daughter in cross country running, track, and cross country skiing at Edward Little High School from 2006-08. Dan has always demonstrated a commitment to this area and compassion for those […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
William Wallace: Campbell offers hope, experience, humanity
Dan Campbell has been a pillar of our community for decades, and he would be an outstanding member of the Maine House of Representatives. His life experience, deep humanity, and knowledge of the strengths and needs of our community and the state of Maine are second to none. Dan’s career as an educator and coach […]
Denis Fortier: Voters should think twice before backing Rep. Libby
In the Oct. 2 Sun Journal, a letter from Renee Cote regarding Rep. Laurel Libby prompted me to send my thoughts. During the very early stages of the COVID pandemic in 2020, we had no protections from the virus other than to mask up and to isolate. Ms. Libby’s staunch defense of her right to […]
Terence McManus: ‘Let’s stick together’
This is a letter to all voters — I have a favor to ask. Election Day is fast approaching, and in my recollection today the country — our country — is as polarized as it has ever been. What to do? I’m sure each of those reading this has a friend, or at least an […]
John Ruccolo: Campbell works hard to help others
Dan Campbell is the hardest working person I know. Not only is he running for office, but he also spends much of his days (and nights) helping homeless people in any way that he can. His focus is on helping others, and it would translate well into the role of Maine House representative for Minot […]
Bob Gardner: Voting for Campbell ‘just makes plain sense’
On Tuesday, Nov. 5, I will with complete confidence cast my vote for Dan Campbell. A Clean Election candidate for House District 90 is just one indication of Dan’s decision to accept local financial support rather than the tens of thousands from outside sources, as his opponent has. After a 50-year friendship witnessing all he […]
Peter Geiger: Sen. Rotundo seeks to do what’s best for Mainers
In a previous letter I mentioned that I don’t want an elected official who will fight for me. Rather I want individuals who will collaborate and find reasonable solutions to the complex problems we face in Maine. Case in point is my support for Sen. Peggy Rotundo, who should be reelected to District 21 of […]
Deanne Danforth: Trump and Project 2025
It’s common knowledge that Donald Trump’s a compulsive liar. He mixes fact and fiction about events and self aggrandizes. Knowing Trump’s lied thousands of times, do people believe his claim of no connection to Project 2025? The Heritage Foundation organized Project 2025, in which Trump is named over 300 times. His campaign advisor Stephen Moore […]
Joan Macri: Sheats applies her building skills to legislation
Whenever I see one of Maine’s stone walls, I think of Bettyann Sheats, candidate for Maine State Senate. Bettyann has constructed many such walls in her garden. These walls, so admired by Mainers, are an apt metaphor for the work she would do in Augusta. Dry stack stone walls are constructed of rocks selected to […]
Don Mayberry: Beal offers dedication, hard work to House District 81
I would like to offer thanks to my friend, state Rep. Sawin Millett, for his many years of service to our community. Agreeing with his positions or not, I always appreciated Sawin as a dedicated community servant with our best interest at heart. As we seek a replacement who will offer their dedication, best thoughts […]
