Jen Blastow is a breath of fresh air and gives me hope for our future. Over the past 14 years I’ve seen that she is respectful, a good listener and she is committed to family, education, our environment and our community. As a nurse practitioner she is on the front line fighting COVID-19, seeing the […]

Who is looking out for the real folks in Western Maine? It’s not enough to claim to be looking out for our “best interests” when the real folks in Western Maine are hurting. We have folks choosing between medication and feeding their families. We have families on the brink of homelessness because we have very […]

I have been working with Laurel Libby since the beginning of her campaign. I cannot believe the energy she brings forth every day, searching for new ways to resolve the issues we face as a state and the barriers that stand in our way. She is tireless in her focus to get information out so […]

We are so grateful that Ned Claxton is again running for state Senate in District 20. We are most impressed with his integrity, his ability to listen, and his dedication to collaboration — all qualities that we value highly, yet seem so rare in today’s politics. Ned has supported increased state funding for our schools, […]

I have many problems with Donald Trump, but as a physician I would like to focus on his effect on our health over the last four years. He has tried to eliminate the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) without producing any replacement. He distrusts medical expertise. His disregard for science imperiled his own health and has […]

I write on behalf of my longtime friend, Ned Claxton, who is running for reelection in Maine Senate District 20. Ned has worked on bills supporting property tax relief, patient protection from abusive billing practices and benefits for veterans. As a former small business owner and physician, he invoked a deep understanding of the complexities […]

The Oct. 6 issue of “The Washington Examiner” magazine contains a provocative editorial that suggests new technology may soon be available which could use fusion energy to generate vast amounts of energy within a few years. If successful, new nuclear fusion reactors could provide carbon-free energy in massive amounts which could eventually bring man-made carbon […]

The “all job creation is local” policy strategy sets the Trump team apart from past administrations. Under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Maine’s dairy farmers can sell more to Canadian markets than they ever have before. Maine loggers will benefit from USMCA provisions to combat trade in illegal logging by poachers. Antidumping and countervailing duties have […]
