On Aug. 23 I placed a sign on my front lawn supporting Democrats Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to lead our American government. The next morning I went to the mailbox, and the Harris-Walz sign was gone. I checked the surrounding area and grasses up and down the street, and I did not find the […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Crystal Ward: ‘Peggy Rotundo is my personal representative’
Lewiston has the great opportunity to reelect Peggy Rotundo as its state senator on Nov. 5. She is a caring, hardworking, knowledgeable, responsive, passionate, supportive advocate for education and the retired. Peggy Rotundo is my personal representative. I have contacted her many times on several issues both local and statewide, and she always has listened, […]
Scott Currie: A vote for Sheats is a vote for Maine
I’m writing to support Bettyann Sheats for Senate. Bettyann has demonstrated commitment to respect and represent all of her constituents. She supports Maine’s Marriage Equality Law and is running as a Clean Election candidate. Republicans would like to eliminate both of these Maine traditions. People’s vote for Bettyann for Senate on Nov. 5 would be […]
Steve Bien: Hoke would ‘work hard and effectively’ for House District 76
I am writing in support of Tammy Hoke’s campaign for House District 76 — Jay, Livermore Falls and Livermore. At a time when so much of our politics has become a slogan-based food fight, it is rare to encounter someone so entirely motivated by her desire to serve. Tammy Hoke has lived and worked in […]
Judy Cyr: Maine deserves a politician like Rep. Libby
I’m writing in support of Laurel Libby for state representative. Although Laurel does excellent work on policy decisions, the most important thing to me is her character. It’s unusual for a politician to be honest, and Laurel has proven herself to be that. She sincerely does her best for the people of Maine and her […]
John and Anne White: Campbell ‘a tireless advocate for our community’
People looking for a tireless advocate for our community need look no further than Dan Campbell. We should make government work for us, which is what Dan has the ability to do. We don’t need to list all the accolades Dan has received from this community, as they have been named many times before. From […]
Ronald Lebel: A Democrat’s support for Republican Libby
In November, Auburn/Minot voters will choose between Republican Laurel Libby and Democrat Dan Campbell for Legislature. As a Democrat, I will vote to reelect Laurel Libby. I like Dan Campbell and attended a dinner in his honor this year. But he supports Democrat policies I reject. On July 2, the state Democratic Party issued a […]
Timothy Carter: Vote Bryant for Senate District 19
I have known Senate District 19 candidate Bruce Bryant for more than 25 years. During that time, I have observed him work to make life better for Maine’s hardworking citizens. As a skilled legislator he sponsored and helped pass bills to benefit our economy, access to recreation and the environment. In the private sector he […]
Jaye Rich: Campbell’s ‘vision for Maine embraces progress’
I am thrilled to support Dan Campbell for state House seat 90. As an educator, I prioritize candidates who advocate for strong public education in Maine, and Mr. Campbell fits that description. A lifelong resident of Auburn, Campbell dedicated decades to the Auburn School Department. His work with students extended far beyond the classroom as […]
Rebecca Hennessey Legare: Clement offers experience, knowledge, dedication
About five years ago I met a man, a long-time police officer, who was running for Lewiston City Council. As we talked it became apparent, he was the real deal. He had a genuine interest in the city and wanted to make Lewiston better. I voted for him and watched him represent our ward over […]
