Jane Pentheny is a write-in candidate running for the position of Androscoggin County commissioner, representing Poland, Mechanic Falls and the New Auburn area to the Durham line. Jane is a resident of Poland and has been a taxpayer here for more than 15 years. She has been very involved in our community in various capacities, […]

I was sorry to hear that Ed Plourde was stepping down as one of Lewiston’s county commissioners, but delighted to learn that Tom Shannon had decided to run as a write-in candidate for that vacancy. Having once served as a commissioner myself, I know the importance of that role. County commissioners oversee many critical services, […]

When Rep. Laurel Libby came to my house and introduced herself, I could see she cared about what issues are important to me. She was pleasant, focused, and shared the same values as my family. After our conversation, I am confident that Laurel Libby is committed to continuing to fight to make Maine a great […]

Is anyone still undecided and thinking about voting for Kamala Harris? I’m remembering four years ago when millions worldwide were dying from COVID. After former president Donald Trump blustered, Joe Biden and Kamala led us out of the horrifying pandemic. How can we forget that? Then they passed legislation — greatly improving roads and internet […]

My background as an accountant leads me to be conservative on fiscal issues, therefore I am extremely concerned that Maine ranks No. 1 in highest property tax and No. 4 in overall tax burden in our country.

We are casting our vote for Charlotte Nutt for the State House to represent Paris, Sumner, West Paris and Woodstock. As two people in their 60s, we have witnessed the rapid changes in our communities. It takes our breath away. When Charlotte knocked on our door and we talked about our concerns, we finally had […]

Stefanie Mahr Damien is not “deranged,” as claimed by a direct mail piece I recently received. It seems her opponent’s supporters have decided it is best to attack Stefanie and call her names rather than explain why I should vote for him. As an independent voter who votes on both policy and the person running […]

I received my draft notice on my 23rd birthday. Unlike Donald Trump I was not a draft dodger. When Donald Trump was president, he called Republican Sen. John McCain a loser because he was captured in North Vietnam. Sen. McCain was respected in the Senate. There’s a memorial to honor the American soldiers who were […]

I am writing to share my profound thanks to Rep. Laurel Libby, who, for the past two-terms, has served with a fierce dedication to our district. She serves wholeheartedly, all while managing the demands of a busy family. Her commitment to empowering Mainers with tools they need to get involved and have their voices heard […]
