I am writing to endorse Jim Handy for another term representing House District 58, Lewiston. I am grateful that he has been working tirelessly to protect and improve the way of life for the citizens of Maine. This includes ensuring insurance coverage for hearing aids, better access to more affordable prescription medicine, expanding access to […]

I know some people are judging President Trump by looks, his hair, and his lies (don’t we all lie?). If God can forgive, why can’t we? President Trump is pro-life; he does not want babies murdered. He works for all of us. I am a Christian and a Democrat, and I will be voting for […]

“He is a good man” is an expression we use in Maine to show respect and appreciation for someone’s personal and professional qualities. That’s the expression that comes to mind when I think of Ned Claxton, who is running for reelection as a state senator for Auburn and surrounding towns (District 20). I worked with […]

I appreciated reading the candidate review for Maine House District 64, representing Auburn and Minot. I have been pleased with the representation of Bettyann Sheats. I was particularly impressed with Ms. Sheats’ specific answers to the questions, especially when she specified vital areas of the state budget. By contrast, I read that candidate Laurel Libby […]

In her four years in Augusta, Bettyann Sheats has demonstrated unwavering support for public health. As a nurse practitioner working in public schools, I see children’s public health needs such as vaccination, first hand. In 2018, Bettyann supported a law to increase vaccination rates in school children as a critical public health measure. In 2019, […]

Sen. Susan Collins is an effective leader, and I am proud to support her reelection. She has been consistently ranked the most bipartisan senator, and she has never missed a roll call vote. Collins wrote the Paycheck Protection Program, bringing $2.3 billion to our small businesses and protecting more than 255,000 Maine jobs. Collins chairs […]

Our neighbors are hurting, businesses are closing and schools are disrupted. We have too many kids going hungry and our essential workers are exhausted. Yet, when asked to help folks with their top two 2020 issues, the economy and health care, our local politicians often forget who they work for: the people of Oxford Hills. […]

What are Jared Golden’s real qualifications to return to the U.S. House of Representatives? His vote to impeach President Trump for “abuse of power” begs me to wonder if he even knows the constitutional requirements to remove a president. What lawful grounds exist by code/section to put the president on trial for being a “meanie” […]

Please Vote. Vote to honor the truth. Vote to condemn all violence. Vote for respectful discourse. Vote for compassion and empathy toward all our neighbors. Vote to recognize our incredible scientists. Vote for cooperation, collaboration and compromise. Vote to improve our imperfect Union. Vote for free and fair elections. Vote for the pillars of our […]

I am writing in support of Sara Gideon, a supporter of affordable health care for Maine people. The Republican Party is attempting to kill the Affordable Care Act, ending protections for people with preexisting conditions, like a pregnant woman, an elder with heart issues, or a child with cancer. All of these individuals deserve coverage. […]
