Other than winning the lottery or inheriting a fortune from a rich relative, a good education is the only road to success. Unfortunately for Lewiston taxpayers, their contribution (under the label of local property taxes) of $98.8 million will not likely meet their expectations. With a graduation rate of 73%, well under the state average […]

I would like to state my support for Peggy Rotundo for State Senate. Ms. Rotundo has shown over and over her commitment to public service. Her knowledge and experience dealing with complex issues on the state level have been invaluable to Maine citizens in the past and is even more vital in the present. I […]

Peggy Rotundo has served Lewiston in both houses of the Maine Legislature and as a long-time member and chair of the Lewiston School Committee. As an educator, I appreciate her unwavering support of public education and her dedication to the betterment of our children. Her experience and reputation as a bipartisan negotiator in Augusta ensure […]

Do we really need the bully in the pulpit again? Haven’t we heard enough of that gravelly voice spitting out nasty barbs at those who may disagree with his archaic ideas? Being an adult, Gov. Janet Mills has taken the high road and is refusing to attack her opponents; her accomplishments speak for themselves. There’s […]

I am supporting Mary-Beth Taylor for the Maine House District 87, representing Mechanic Falls and Poland. Mary-Beth has served Poland well for four years on the Board of Selectpersons. She has been a fine leader who shows respect and consideration for all. I hope all the voters of Mechanic Falls and Poland to join me […]

Peggy Rotundo is easily the right choice for who to send to Augusta this November. She has a long record of working hard to get things done for everyone, and her fiscal skills are unmatched. Her previous time in office shows us that she knows how to help people while still being fiscally responsible. Just […]

I am submitting this letter in support of my daughter-in-law Kristen Cloutier, who is running for re-election to the State House representing District 94. I think it is important for people to know who they are voting for, and Kristen takes her responsibility as an elected official very seriously. She has served in various offices, […]

Norm Gellatly’s recent letter in these pages (“Could the DOJ put Trump out of commission?,” Aug. 13) seems to me to be unworthy of publication in the Sun Journal or any other legitimate news source. It is a ubiquitous list of insults and personal attacks against Donald Trump, the like of which we can all […]
