I have known Janet Mills since the 1980s when she ran for district attorney. I was the treasurer for one of her campaigns. She is a person who understands that laws must always be in the best interest of the people. As district attorney, she supervised many individuals and made sure that the cases that […]

Question 1 an all-around bad idea
I will always advocate for access to quality home health services for those in need, but Question 1 is a bad idea. It is so unpopular that all four candidates for governor and leaders in both parties agree it is wrong for Maine. Question 1 would impose a massive $310 million tax increase on thousands […]

America is under attack by socialists
The real threat this nation is facing is the anti-Trump and anti-America socialist movement. America is under attack from the out-of-control leftist politicians. They are the real problem, not the president. On Nov. 6, people get a chance to vote on who will be taking U.S. House and some Senate seats. If the liberal left […]

Hayes respected by both parties
Terry Hayes is a bright, articulate, thoughtful individual who also is a good listener. Free of party politics and the rancor and partisanship that accompanies the same, she is just the person needed at the Blaine House as Maine tackles the big problems of health care, education, the economy, energy and a myriad of other […]

I recommend Martha Poliquin
Martha Poliquin is the Democrat candidate for Lisbon’s seat in the Maine House of Representatives. She is not to be confused with Bruce Poliquin of the other party. She is a hard working woman, dedicated to the welfare and improvement of Lisbon, as evidenced by her time on the school board and participation with the […]

Vote for the antidote — Janet Mills
Anyone who wants to turn the page on eight years of a Republican governor who bragged about being “Trump before Trump was Trump” should vote to replace him with Janet Mills, who will: • Fight for affordable health care. Reversing mean-spirited Republican policy, she will enforce the wishes of Maine voters by expanding Medicaid. • […]

Questions about Bruce Poliquin
This is in response to the Sun Journal profile of Rep. Bruce Poliquin (Sept. 23). In the article, Poliquin is quoted as having “ignored the noise” in the controversy over last year’s Republican bill designed to eliminate the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Yet 60 percent of Mainers had voted to expand Medicaid under Obamacare in […]

Mills cares about Mainers
In the first six months of 2017, Maine saw 185 drug overdose deaths compared to 180 for the same period in 2018. In 2017 there were 418 drug-induced deaths, an increase from 2016 when my sister, Sarah Cookson, lost her battle with drug addiction and depression. My sister became one of those numbers, Dec. 16, […]

In support of Cherri Crockett
I have known Cherri Crockett for many years, both as an acquaintance and professionally throughout our work careers. I was very excited when I learned she had decided to run for the Registrar of Deeds for Oxford County. I know she is the right person for this county position and will bring many excellent qualities […]

Truth in political advertising
The time has come for Maine to become the first in the nation to adopt a law addressing truth in political advertising. It should be illegal for big money interests or special interests to promote false advertising in order to get their candidate elected. The state can turn a negative into a positive. And if […]
