In a previous letter I mentioned that I don’t want an elected official who will fight for me. Rather I want individuals who will collaborate and find reasonable solutions to the complex problems we face in Maine. Case in point is my support for Sen. Peggy Rotundo, who should be reelected to District 21 of […]

It’s common knowledge that Donald Trump’s a compulsive liar. He mixes fact and fiction about events and self aggrandizes. Knowing Trump’s lied thousands of times, do people believe his claim of no connection to Project 2025? The Heritage Foundation organized Project 2025, in which Trump is named over 300 times. His campaign advisor Stephen Moore […]

Whenever I see one of Maine’s stone walls, I think of Bettyann Sheats, candidate for Maine State Senate. Bettyann has constructed many such walls in her garden. These walls, so admired by Mainers, are an apt metaphor for the work she would do in Augusta. Dry stack stone walls are constructed of rocks selected to […]

I would like to offer thanks to my friend, state Rep. Sawin Millett, for his many years of service to our community. Agreeing with his positions or not, I always appreciated Sawin as a dedicated community servant with our best interest at heart. As we seek a replacement who will offer their dedication, best thoughts […]

Let’s preserve our right to vote (our true democracy). We have to back up our words with action. We need to choose a leader who is healthy and really cares for the future of all people. We need a leader who has the ability to unite people for the greater good of all people. People […]

Given the turmoil and instability that seems to surround our daily lives, I am more cautious about whom we elect to Augusta than ever before. I will vote and support those candidates who offer common sense ideas and solutions that will make Maine great again without bankrupting us. It is for that reason that I […]

In November, I’m supporting U.S. Rep. Jared Golden for Congress. He has proven himself as someone who truly understands the issues that Maine workers face every day. His voting record alone proves his concerns of these folks. During our strike of 2020 at Bath Iron Works, Golden walked with us and took the time to […]

I hope Auburn voters who live in House District 88 consider Stefanie Mahr Damien for their representative. Among her many strengths, Stefanie is a small business owner and deeply involved in the needs of senior citizens. Perhaps most importantly, Stefanie is a Clean Election candidate. That means she funds her campaign by getting $5 contributions […]

I won’t be voting for anyone with an “R” after their name. On a local level, why would the Republican Party want to put Kerryl Lee Clement as a candidate for the Maine House after he was involved with so much hate and division, accused of violating Maine’s Freedom of Access Law, and subsequently voted […]

I am tired of politics as usual in the state of Maine. It is for this reason that I enthusiastically endorse Charlotte Nutt to represent District 79 in the Maine House of Representatives. As an independent, Charlotte is not beholden to either of the two parties that dominate Maine politics. Instead, she can focus on […]
