For those who are passionate about racial and social justice, please join me in voting for Greg Kimber, who is running against state Rep. Randy Hall (Chesterville, Wilton, New Vineyard, Strong, Industry, Temple). Unfortunately, Rep. Hall voted against banning conversion therapy, prohibiting Native American mascots, and amending Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day. Greg Kimber, […]

I was glad to see that Scott Cole is running for Oxford County commissioner. As our Bethel town manager, no detail escaped his eye or to-do list. I once had a short conversation with Scott concerning a cemetery and specific work that needed to be done by the town. Months later with time approaching to […]

When I think about which local candidate to vote for in an election, character is an important factor, but more importantly are their views affecting our town, the state, and the future our kids and grandkids will inherit. Randall Hall voted against giving loggers the right to form cooperatives and demand better wages and working […]

As a registered independent voter, I do not vote for a person because of their party affiliation, but because of their views and community commitment. Therefore, I am voting again for Ned Claxton. Ned has already exhibited the qualifications of the type of legislator I want in Augusta.  As a doctor, he listened carefully to […]

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, […]

Jim Handy has shown time and time again that he is comfortable working with Democrats, Republicans and independents alike to pass legislation that helps to make life easier for all his constituents. For example, he sponsored legislation to fund […]
