As representative for House District 60 (soon to be District 94 after redistricting), Kristen Cloutier has worked tirelessly over the past four years to advocate for the people of Lewiston. I have found Kristen to be very helpful and responsive toward her constituents. She sponsored a bill and convened a working group regarding an issue […]

Concerned, caring and committed to providing a collaborative and forward-thinking role in the Maine Senate, Bettyann Sheats stands head and shoulders above the competition. I feel really comfortable voting for Bettyann Sheats. Bob Gardner, Auburn

It is no secret that a lot of people are frustrated, confused and tired of the polarizing and often hostile speech that dominates our political arenas. Many Maine voters do not feel that anyone is listening to them or doing anything about the turmoil they see and hear around them. I encourage our political candidates […]

Even Florida doesn’t want Paul LePage. This says a lot. When he was governor, it came to a point we didn’t want him either. Now he’s trying again and starting out with women’s rights. Women can use their own minds to do the right thing for themselves. Gov. Janet Mills fights for us, not against […]

I’m offended by the political ad suggesting that something is bad about Gov. Janet Mills because she lived in San Francisco and backpacked through Europe.

For the past five months, I have had the pleasure of serving as the treasurer for the campaign of Benjamin Weisner for Maine House District 89. Ben has spent this time visiting the citizens of his district to understand what they need from their state representative. In addition to making these house calls, he has […]

As a veteran, I am proudly supporting Eric Brakey for Maine Senate. Brakey demonstrated, during his two terms as senator, that he takes his oath to the U.S. Constitution as seriously as I do. No one in Augusta works harder than Eric Brakey to defend our freedoms and paychecks. For that alone, Eric Brakey would […]

Jessica Fay, representing Casco, Poland, Raymond and Frye Island in the state House, is running for re-election. We feel she’s been doing a fantastic job working on behalf of her communities. Jess is active in, and makes herself available to, all residents of them. She routinely sends out email updates and posts news of what’s […]

Bettyann Sheats is a dedicated wife, mother and small business owner, who has made Auburn her home for 27 years and has fiercely and consistently advocated for our community. As our state representative, Bettyann sponsored legislation to help support hardworking Mainers. I have personally seen Bettyann help those in need, from raking a sick friend’s […]

Why is autocracy a threat? Autocracy results from a lust for power — power that rules and corrupts at will. When autocracy outweighs democracy, democracy falls. We are at that tipping point. Right now the minority leader of the House declares that when Republicans control the House after the November election they will curtail or […]
