I have known Jared Golden since when he started at Bates College after he returned home from his service in the Marines. He was a strong student dedicated to being successful with his studies. He was very mature, always polite and respectful of others. From the moment I met him, I could tell that he […]

Bill Trommer: House 91 candidate Lipson ‘a tireless worker’
This November, the citizens of House District 91 (Leeds, Turner and Wayne) have an opportunity to elect an outstanding person to represent us. Hildie Lipson is a person with that rare ability to find common ground with many different people. She is a careful listener who knows that working with others involves collaborating and crafting […]
Henk Goorhuis: Sheats would work to improve Maine health care system
Availability of health care services is an ongoing challenge in Maine. Frankly, in this area only Democrats have delivered for my district and Maine. I expect my representative in Augusta to look into real ideas for making improvements in Maine’s health, not just empty promises as our health care system continues in distress. During her […]
Barbara Arsenault: Bishop would continue to serve, as House District 77 rep
I am proud to write in support for Bonny Bishop, who is running for the legislature to represent Hartford, Canton, Peru, Mexico, Dixfield and the Route 4 part of Livermore (District 77). Serving the community has always been a constant in Bonny’s life. Her father was a Korean War veteran and she followed in his […]
Hal Phillips: Sheats is best direction for Senate District 20
Having moved to Auburn from New Gloucester in 2021, I’m pleased to support Bettyann Sheats for state Senate. Her record as state representative resulted in bills, passed/funded to support first responders with PTSD; to secure transitional housing for women, veterans and their families; to remove stigma from past offenders seeking employment — so they might […]
Nathalie and James Scribner: Rotundo ‘a strong voice for Lewiston’
We have proudly supported Peggy Rotundo for more than 20 years. The first of our many support signs was posted on our lawn by our son and a toddler granddaughter. That adorable toddler recently turned 26. Peggy continues to treasure those pictures and our support. Peggy is accessible and has a strong connection with her […]
Pam Miner: House candidate Foster supports lower taxes
Greg Foster, who is running for state representative in District 86, has owned his own successful business for 30 years. He is honest, hardworking, and knows what it takes to be fiscally responsible. Greg has lived in Maine his whole life and knows that the people of Maine can manage their own money more wisely […]
James McHugh: Bishop aims to bring life of service to Augusta
I write in support of Bonny Bishop, who is running for state representative in House District 77 — Hartford, Canton, Peru, Mexico, Dixfield and part of Livermore. Bonny spent 10 years in the Maine National Guard, worked in health care, and is a 14-year hospice volunteer along with being involved in other volunteer opportunities. She […]
Richard Whiting: Sheats ‘the best candidate’ for Senate District 20
I support Bettyann Sheats for state Senate; she is the best candidate for our district. She will listen to her constituents, and work effectively with Democrats, Republicans and independents. On the other hand, her opponent, Eric Brakey, hung up on me when I called asking him to support legislation putting an affordable housing bond on […]
Ellen Grunblatt: Hoke offers true representation to House District 76
I’m writing in support of Tamara Hoke’s campaign to represent the residents of state House District 76. I use that term purposefully. Tammy will represent us in Augusta. Her desire to serve has grown out of her lifelong commitment to this area, her knowledge and direct experience of people’s needs, and her recognition that the […]
