I saw that Rep. Laurel Libby reached 10,000 Facebook followers. I couldn’t help but think what an amazing feat that is. For someone who was not involved in politics until the 2020 election cycle, she has sure made a name for herself. I have a feeling that some people might not know who their legislators […]

I was glad to hear that Dan Campbell, the popular, long-time Edward Little High School coach, has entered the race for House District 90. In 2022, there was only one person on the ballot, a candidate whose extreme views I could not support. I looked back at the vote totals for that race, and it […]

I am a lifelong member of the Democratic Party who enthusiastically supports Laurel Libby for reelection to the Maine House of Representatives because Laurel Libby stands for those values that the Democratic Party used to: individual freedom, personal responsibility, parental rights, free speech, and opportunity unrestrained by race. The Democratic majority in the Maine Legislature […]

Spending is out of control. Gov. Janet Mills tells her own party to “show fiscal restraint.” She was ignored. The Legislature responded by approving 80 additional bills, another $10 million. Mills also panned a last-minute attempt by her fellow Democrats for an additional $100 million (“Gov. Mills slams lawmakers for advancing more spending bills,” May […]

All this flack about abortion is pure ignorance, because it is missing an important point. Women don’t get pregnant by stepping outside and taking a deep breath; a male sperm is required for conception. Responsible men could prevent unwanted pregnancies by getting a vasectomy or using birth control, but they’d rather threaten women with prosecution […]

I am supporting the election of Bettyann Sheats for the Maine State Senate. Bettyann has served her country in the U.S. military and has served Maine and the Lewiston-Auburn area as a member of the Legislature. Her record of accomplishments in Augusta is excellent. Bettyann listens to her colleagues’ positions carefully before deciding on the […]

Sixty years ago I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and was arrested with 799 others at Sproul Hall. I didn’t know if I would be expelled; it was important to stand up for free speech for Bary Goldwater Republicans as well as Students for a Democratic Society. Professors bailed us out, […]

Maine is one of the most taxed states in the union. It’s unthinkable — especially since much of the state is rural with limited job opportunities. Yet the state government continues to grow. Where will it end? I am seeking a legislator who knows the value of a budget, has the wisdom to know what […]

Corporate-owned television has shown us the recent breakup of the student encampments at our nation’s colleges and universities protesting the ongoing killings in Gaza by the state of Israel with the full complicity by our U.S. government. Are the tents the problem, or is the problem 2,000-pound bombs supplied with billions of our U.S. tax […]

I am writing this letter of support for Lee Clement for Maine House District 96. I have known Lee for many years and know him to be a man of great moral character. His fiscally responsible viewpoints would serve the people of Maine well as we strive to meet the financial challenges that lay ahead. […]
