Let’s preserve our right to vote (our true democracy). We have to back up our words with action. We need to choose a leader who is healthy and really cares for the future of all people. We need a leader who has the ability to unite people for the greater good of all people. People […]

Given the turmoil and instability that seems to surround our daily lives, I am more cautious about whom we elect to Augusta than ever before. I will vote and support those candidates who offer common sense ideas and solutions that will make Maine great again without bankrupting us. It is for that reason that I […]

In November, I’m supporting U.S. Rep. Jared Golden for Congress. He has proven himself as someone who truly understands the issues that Maine workers face every day. His voting record alone proves his concerns of these folks. During our strike of 2020 at Bath Iron Works, Golden walked with us and took the time to […]

I hope Auburn voters who live in House District 88 consider Stefanie Mahr Damien for their representative. Among her many strengths, Stefanie is a small business owner and deeply involved in the needs of senior citizens. Perhaps most importantly, Stefanie is a Clean Election candidate. That means she funds her campaign by getting $5 contributions […]

I won’t be voting for anyone with an “R” after their name. On a local level, why would the Republican Party want to put Kerryl Lee Clement as a candidate for the Maine House after he was involved with so much hate and division, accused of violating Maine’s Freedom of Access Law, and subsequently voted […]

I am tired of politics as usual in the state of Maine. It is for this reason that I enthusiastically endorse Charlotte Nutt to represent District 79 in the Maine House of Representatives. As an independent, Charlotte is not beholden to either of the two parties that dominate Maine politics. Instead, she can focus on […]

Rep. Kristen Cloutier creates results for Lewiston and all of Maine. In order to help victims and survivors of the Oct. 25 mass shooting in Lewiston, Kristen helped to pass the Maine Mass Violence Care Fund — a landmark legislative achievement. In other states, funding for victims of mass violence has slowly dried up as […]

As always, “special interests” are spending tons of money trying to get our votes in November, using news media to either promote or denote the opponents. We’re told prices on fuel, groceries and housing are apt to get better. Promising to help the middle class is always on the agenda, and never happens. President Biden […]

Joan Beal is running to represent us in Maine House District 81, and I am blown away by how lucky we citizens of that district are. After a lifetime of community service teaching in classrooms, halfway houses, as a court-appointed special advocate for children, plus serving on town budget and planning committees, Joan understands that […]

On Laurel Libby and Leonard Leo — a Sept. 6 story in the Bangor Daily News outlined the flow of $375,000 from the Federalist Society leader’s Concord Fund down to state Rep. Libby’s “Dinner Table.” Underneath all the lip service to “freedom,” here are Libby’s real interests: ending reproductive rights for Maine women and overturning […]
