Lewiston’s representation in Augusta has been there a long time, but it’s done little to change Lewiston’s direction. And it needs it. Rick LaChapelle wants to inspire that change as state senator. He’s committed to helping Lewiston residents build a thriving economy — leading to economic independence for Lewiston families, making streets safe and free […]

It has been nearly a year since Gov. Janet Mills’ vaccine mandate for health care workers went into affect. The state and especially disabled and elderly Mainers are still paying the price, with limited or no care available, as many nurses left their jobs. It is obvious to all now that she did this based […]

Citizens of Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties have an outstanding opportunity to make their communities safer and an overall better place to live. In this coming November election, Deputy District Attorney Neil Mclean is running for the position of district attorney. Neil is a lifelong friend who I know to be driven, honest, thoughtful and […]

Rep. Laurel Libby. If people haven’t heard that name yet, they will, because she’s determined to knock on every door in District 90 before November. Her love of Maine drives her passion to represent its people well. Laurel wants to hear her constituents’ concerns. Instead of enjoying summer days at the beach with her kids, […]

Kathy Shaw would make an excellent representative for state House District 88. She is hardworking, collaborative, and a great listener. She is highly engaged and involved in all aspects of the community, offering creative solutions to some of the toughest challenges we are facing. Kathy is highly respected amongst her peers and the citizens of […]

For 16 years, the citizens of Lewiston were blessed to have Peggy Rotundo representing them in Augusta, first as a member of the Senate and then the House of Representatives. After taking a well-earned break, she is now prepared to resume her hard work in the Legislature as a candidate for the Senate. A strong […]

I write in rebuttal to Deborah Diltz (“Letter’s insults, attacks on Trump ‘unworthy of publication’,” Aug. 28). She resents people calling Donald Trump a “dangerous imposter,” “buffoon,” “boorish foe” and “menace.” She ignores the fact that he is a twice-impeached self-admitted adulterer, compulsive liar and grifter. Did Trump put America first when his minions attacked […]

I enthusiastically support Kristen Cloutier for House District 60 (formerly 94). She’s a strong leader working for Lewiston families. An example of Kristen’s leadership is her sponsorship of the Family Caregiver Grant Program (LD 296). This program provides tax credits for families who care for sick loved ones. It supports eldercare and assists families with […]

Take it from a Vietnam veteran who’s lived in this state for over 70 years: we haven’t had a representative who can deliver for Maine veterans like Jared Golden in a long time. He takes the time to listen to his fellow veterans, understands the issues we’re dealing with because he’s one of us, and […]

“We the People by the People for the People” was the basis for the forming of our country. We must elect people who will help the people. Rep. Margaret Craven supports a government that is transparent and works to that end. She is responsive to her constituents and answers their questions and concerns truthfully. She […]
