Jared Golden was born, raised and lives in Maine District 2. He will make an outstanding U.S. Representative for the people. He is hard-working, honest, caring, patriotic and a leader who will put the people first, not special interests. Golden has worked across the aisle in Augusta and will continue this practice in Washington, D.C. […]

Be informed, don't be fooled
The blue wave is already here in the form of political signs. The Republican hopefuls are hiding behind the color blue, believing voters will be fooled. A big blue sign with a tiny red stripe screams Republican to me. Gov. LePage stated that voters don’t really understand what they vote for, so he needs to […]

Would like to see Question 1 pass
In Vietnam, I was Rat Six — the leader of the First Infantry Division Tunnel Rats. Among the many lessons I learned in the Army was the importance of taking care of one another; and I learned how recovery happens best at home. I am supporting Question 1 in November because it would provide universal […]

Nutting is my choice for District 75
I am a family medicine physician who lives in Turner. I support John Nutting for Maine House District 75 (Leeds, Turner and Livermore). As a physician, I believe Nutting’s position that people are entitled to affordable health insurance makes him the best choice for my district. The people of Maine have voted to expand MaineCare, […]

Janet Mills has proven herself
Janet Mills has proven herself repeatedly, both as a state legislator in the past and, recently, as Maine’s attorney general. She is well liked by both parties. I am so pleased that voters have a calm, dedicated, bright, effective candidate for governor. Independent Terry Hayes has been state treasurer under the current administration and thinks […]

Support for Kristen Cloutier
I am hoping that the residents of Maine House District 60 will join me in voting for Kristen Cloutier for the Maine Legislature. I have known her for the past six or seven years. She serves with me on the Lewiston Public Health Committee as city council representative. Cloutier is a hard worker and is […]

Rein in the misguided dreams
There are 195 countries in the world. So, which country does Auburn’s city manager, economic development manager and mayor decide upon as the most meaningful place to promote Auburn’s “business friendly” environment? The answer to that question is: China. Yes, the very same China that President Donald Trump is choosing to impose massive economic sanctions […]

Kavanaugh is a great judge
One of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s heroes is his mom, a former public-school teacher at McKinley Tech (a predominately African-American high school in Kavanaugh’s hometown of Washington, D.C.). She taught during a difficult time in this nation’s history, filled with racial tension and segregated schools. When 3-year-old Brett Kavanaugh sat in the back of his mother’s […]

What has Poliquin done for workers?
The cut in taxes that Rep. Bruce Poliquin’s recent television ad claims Jared Golden voted against benefited the people at the top of the earnings ladder. I don’t know anyone who received a $2,000 reduction in taxes, as Poliquin claimed. Gov. LePage’s budget resulted in underfunding state agencies such as Child Protective Services, which resulted […]

Support for Question 1
I hope everyone will vote “yes” on Question 1 — universal home care. Help with home care would have made a huge difference for my family as we cared for my mother, Betty Williams. Three years ago, she died from multiple myeloma. We struggled to care for her at home for many years. I am […]
