As a longtime community service colleague and friend, in my opinion Ed Plourde is the better candidate to serve as the Androscoggin County District 1 commissioner. Serving in that capacity since last January, he’s brought his many years of experience as Lewiston City Council chair, Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport board chair, and past president of the […]

I strongly support Peggy Rotundo for the next District 21 state senator. Peggy is always there when people need her. She is very supportive and helpful. She worked very hard to help us save No Name Pond. I know she would always be there for the people of Lewiston as our state senator. Jeanne Raymond, […]

I totally agree with Clem Bechard’s letter to the editor; I’m sick and tired of the constant bashing of opponents (“U.S. needs leaders with vision, common sense,” Oct. 7). I feel that it’s fear based. We need leaders who have the courage to commit themselves to let people know their real intention about the positive […]

As a father and grandfather, I’m concerned with parents’ rights and the effort to wrestle stewardship of our children away from us. Many schools now try to teach our children what to think, not how to think. For example, philosophies based on the color of a person’s skin without regard to the content of their […]

Rep. Margaret Craven is running for re-election to the Maine Legislature in Lewison’s new House District 93, which runs from Sabattus to the north, west of Central. She deserves to be re-elected. Margaret has devoted much of her life to addressing the needs of her constituents — young children, child safety, and child abuse and […]
