Someone has chosen (as of Sept. 14) to hang a Trump 2024 flag with an obscene message across from the Turner Primary School. Our state has decided to remove obscenity and innuendo from our license plates to prevent exposing the young to foul language. It is a shame this person feels the need to expose […]

I’ll vote for Gov. Janet Mills in November and I hope that others will join me in doing so. My reasons for this are simple and straightforward, as one can see. During the pandemic she made several decisions she felt were for the best for Mainers. She didn’t allow fear or conspiracies to guide her, […]

Not again. I sure hope we learned from the first time. Look at it this way: Paul LePage is always angry, has a potty mouth, always blames someone else, and vetoes many things that come on his desk. I mean, he even wanted to stop state subsidies for Meals on Wheels. He has no compassion […]

We have known Ed Rabasco for 20 years. We appreciate his intellect as he volunteers to fulfill the duties of moderating Poland town meetings and serving on the RSU 16 school board for 12 years. His dedication to his community is unwavering. Rabasco is the ideal candidate for district attorney because he would work collaboratively […]

Sometimes you meet a person, and you think the person is interesting. You meet the same person again and you know this person is a born leader. Of course, I’m talking about Kristen Cloutier. She has served on the Lewiston School Committee and was elected to the Lewiston City Council. She was chosen by council […]

I am pleased to endorse Kristen Cloutier as state representative for newly-created House District 94. Kristen has a long history of community service, as past mayor of Lewiston, City Council president, Ward 5 councilor, and two terms as the representative of District 60, prior to redistricting. I have never met anyone whose dedication to serving […]

In November, we face a choice for our representatives to Augusta. Their work is important as they consider what is best for our community, our city, and our state. To be successful, we need to elect a person of integrity and a person with experience. Margaret Craven is just such a person as she runs […]

Writing for the paper isn’t typically my thing, but there is a time and place for it. We all want our voices to be heard; maybe others can relate. I am a husband and father. A man who likes to mind my own business. I work hard day in and day out to take care […]

I’ve proudly served as Oxford County commissioner for many years. I’m an independent with no party affiliation. This has allowed me to make decisions based on what I think is in the best interests of my friends and neighbors. No political considerations. Augusta is quite another situation. Party cooperation is important. The Legislature and the […]

I am a lifelong resident of Maine and have always stayed out of politics, until this time. However, I feel it’s now critical for everyone to pay close attention to, and to be more involved in, our representation in Augusta. For that reason I have chosen to support Rep. Laurel Libby in this election for […]
