As the upcoming election approaches, it is important for voters to carefully consider their choices for representation in government. One candidate who stands out as a strong and effective leader is Rep. Adam Lee. With a proven track record of success and a dedication to serving his constituents, reelecting Lee is the best choice for […]

Electric vehicles are not right for Maine. True, they are smooth and powerful, but good luck in the charging arena. Recently, I had the misfortune of being convinced to lease a fully electric crossover with an 87 kwh battery. The dealership group has nine charging stations for customer use, none of them high capacity, and […]

From my prospective, Project 2025 is no laughing matter. As I read state Sen. Eric Brakey’s “humorous” comments (“Eric Brakey says Project 2025 criticism is ‘fearmongering’,” July 16), I was dismayed with his minimizing the vast array of changes in reproductive liberties, education, Social Security and Medicare, as well as the expansion of the powers […]

I strongly support Peggy Rotundo’s reelection as state senator from Lewiston. From her years on the Lewiston School Committee to her current term in the Senate, Peggy has dedicated her skills, energy and sense of fairness to addressing the needs of Lewiston and Maine. Peggy’s record of accomplishments as Lewiston’s senator this year alone is […]

We heard Mr. Trump ask Georgia’s secretary of state to “find” more votes for him so he could win the […]

I would like to add my name to the issue of traffic in our community. I agree that it’s a real problem. Speed limits are ignored and traffic lights and signs appear to only be a suggestion. I don’t, however, agree that police are not doing their job. I see police out on the streets […]

The war in Gaza has been horrific, with over 30,000 civilian casualties. The war would end immediately, and Gaza could start rebuilding, if the remaining hostages were released. What is Hamas waiting for? Joel Olstein, Auburn

I am glad to hear that Dan Campbell is running for District 90 state representative. I have known Dan for more than 25 years and believe he is the right person for this important job. Dan is compassionate, honest and hard working. As a coach and teacher, he has made a huge difference in so […]

I am wondering how long the news media is going to beat a dead horse. There’s a saying that when you get knocked down you get back up. President Biden is trying, but members of his own party are trying to push him back down. Shame on them. I guess they forgot Pearl Harbor or […]
