Rep. Margaret Craven is running again for her District 59 seat. She is a strong advocate for fairness and justice, as well as a thoughtful decision-maker who listens to, and cares deeply about, her constituents. I have had the privilege of working with Margaret on several issues and projects in Augusta. On one occasion, I […]

I will be voting for Greg Foster, Republican candidate for Maine House District 66, because he believes in freedom – plain and simple. This includes freedom from big government and high taxes. The incumbent, Jessica Fay, does not. Foster has spent nearly 40 years as a professional forester, supporting Maine’s rugged and independent landowners and […]

For six years, both as a city councilor and mayor of Lewiston, Kristen Cloutier thoroughly researched issues, listened closely to constituents’ concerns and worked tirelessly to better this community. Now, as a state representative, she has brought these same skills to Augusta, representing our city with integrity, passion, thoughtfulness, and an unwavering commitment to make […]

I am writing to encourage voters in Auburn and Minot to vote for Laurel Libby for the state House of Representatives. I have seen her and her husband John putting up signs, going door to door and talking to — and more importantly, listening to — the constituents. Ms. Libby believes that being elected is […]

Never has it been more important to re-elect Rep. Jim Handy to the Maine House of Representatives (District 58). He has been one of the most effective legislators Lewiston has ever elected. He is not extreme in his views, and he always puts Lewiston first. Voters in Lewiston have a choice for state representative: to […]

As a registered nurse for 38 years, I have seen both the successes and failures of our health care system. Emergency treatment for people having a stroke or heart attack not only saves lives but also avoids long-term disability. In contrast, many people with chronic illness or disease are unable to get necessary treatment because […]

I met Kent Ackley when he played the fiddle at a church supper. We see each other around town, and I always bend his ear. We don’t always agree, but he listens. Augusta is where our representatives meet to solve Maine problems, not engage in political posturing. Local problems need common sense solutions; this is […]

This experience in Augusta makes him the best candidate to represent District 115. John understands the struggles […]
