I have known Randy Gauvin for almost 40 years. In these years he has always impressed me with his kindness, hard work, and his work as an advocate for the community. Randy is one of these people who makes a positive difference in this world. He recognizes work that needs to be done and jumps […]

House District 90 candidate Dan Campbell and I have been friends for more than 60 years. Many have heard of his richly deserved civic awards, but it’s the innumerable, untold, behind the scenes personal stories that perhaps offer a truer picture of the man. In 2001, I lost my wife, Lyn, to cancer, and three […]

We trust our representative form of government for many things. We trust that our elected representatives will advocate for our wants and needs. Lately it seems this has been overlooked by many in Augusta. Maybe we need to elect a public servant, not a politician. That public servant is Lee Clement. Lee has spent most […]

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Julie McCabe at Next Step, and I know firsthand the dedication she brings to her work. Julie is the force we need in House District 93. She brings education to life by teaching students real-world skills and helping them understand their potential. As Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned […]

On Nov. 5 when we cast our votes, I ask all veterans to think hard about who they vote for.

What has always impressed me about her is that she is a person of integrity who strives to do the right thing, and is also […]

The story and life experienced by Jeromy Bean-Thurlow (“Breaking the silence: A voice from the Deaf and hard of hearing community,” Sept. 22) touched a deep part of my soul. It made me realize how I have taken my voice for granted. But even more, his explanation served to broaden my knowledge of life for […]

I am writing to heartily endorse our representative, Kristen Cloutier, for reelection to the Maine House of Representatives for Lewiston’s District 94. Kristen has devoted her life’s work to serving Lewiston’s children and families — our businesses, schools and communities. I’ve seen Kristen — time and time again — rise early and work late into […]

One of the many gifts my parents have given me is my love of gardening. Growing up, we always had a vegetable garden in our suburban backyard. Some of my best childhood memories are playing outside, helping to tend the plants and picking tasty treats. I also understand now in my adulthood that growing our […]
