Having worked with Kristen Cloutier, in collaboration with our schools in her role as representative of state House District 60, it is abundantly clear to me that her dedication to the city of Lewiston and its citizens is unwavering. She is not afraid to have tough conversations and is always willing to listen and find […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Margaret Craven: A good fit for Androscoggin commission
I am voting for Roland Poirier for Androscoggin County Commission. We serve on the board of Museum LA together, Roland being our treasurer. I have known Roland and his family for many years, and I can testify that he is kind, thoughtful, a good listener, and a critical thinker who makes decisions logically and well […]
Patricia Quinn: Branch will work for Maine’s future
I am writing to encourage voters in state Senate District 19 to vote for Katey Branch because she is such a dynamic personality and a great listener. She has chosen to live in Maine for 32 years because she loves the outdoors, our mountains and lakes, and is especially interested in protecting them. Katey practices […]
Michele Varuolo Cole: Cole for county commissioner
Setting aside spousal bias, this is why I’m voting for Scott Cole for Oxford County commissioner. He’s the complete package. Twenty-nine years of municipal and county experience with leadership qualities make him a natural candidate. His technical comprehension of county governance is second to none. His decisions are based on gained knowledge, fair process and […]
Henry Washburn: Vote Trump out of office
Our president and members of his administration have verbally attacked the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, after the FBI uncovered a plot to kidnap her and “try” her for her supposed crimes. President Trump said not a word to condemn the hate group that planned to kidnap her; we are forced to think that he […]
Lee Hughes: Support Sessions for House District 117
I’m pleased to support Savannah Sessions for state House of Representatives District 117. As a teaching colleague, I know her to be an intellectual and professional with an excellent work ethic. She is energized about, and dedicated to, the betterment of her extended community. She’s compassionate, an attentive listener, and a critical thinker. This is […]
Curtis Cole: Vote Bennett for Senate District 19
We are extremely fortunate to have a candidate of the highest caliber in Rick Bennett. He possesses the rare combination of upright character, qualifying experience and exceptional ability to perform the important job of serving District 19 in the Maine Senate. I would encourage everyone to avoid missing this opportunity to send the very best […]
Gina Morin: Maine needs more affordable housing
I have lived in transitional housing in a motel for 4 1/2 years. Living in a single room is hard, although it’s a lot easier than living in a vehicle. I have done both. I look at the same four walls every day. I don’t have a kitchen sink or a stove, so I made […]
Paul Gilbert: Riley has earned reelection votes
I am pleased to support the reelection of Rep. Tina Riley for House District 74: Jay, Livermore Falls and part of Livermore. Tina’s background as a small business owner and licensed electrician, and her response to issues affecting people in our district and throughout Maine, have contributed to her continued thoughtful approach to issues before […]
Amedeo Lauria: Collins supports seniors, veterans, businesses
I hope others join me reelecting Susan Collins to the United States Senate in November. She is, and has always been, a strong advocate for seniors, veterans and all Maine businesses. She has not changed; don’t believe the political ads funded with millions of out-of-state dollars saying otherwise. I know better, and you know better. […]
